Mato finished sixth in the Central Massachusetts League and advanced to the state championship meet, where she took 59th in slalom and 81st in giant slalom. Coach Andrew Carlucci lauded Mato for her “exceptional leadership” as a captain. “She was a guiding presence throughout practice and on race nights, helping out her fellow racers to get them pumped up and ready to perform,” Carlucci stated. “She could often be seen giving tips or words of encouragement to her teammates during practice. … She had a fantastic season inside and outside of the race course.”

Move In Style, sponsored by Custom Home Realty’s Laura Wauters, is a weekly Hopkinton Independent feature. Each week during the school year, we will highlight a different Hopkinton High School athlete, selected after consultation with HHS coaches.
