Athlete Spotlight-Mato

Mato burst onto the scene with consistent finishes in the top of the Central Massachusetts Conference Ski League, earning team MVP honors along with an invitation to the state championship meet. Her ninth-place league ranking “is a huge accomplishment for any athlete, but very impressive for a freshman,” shared coach (and father) Shawn Mato. She also plays field hockey and lacrosse for the Hillers.

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.
