Athletes to Watch: Matt Bouthillette, La Salle Academy

MATT BOUTHILLETTE

If the race is right, Matt has potential to win Sunday's race. The La Salle senior finished second to teammate DJ Principe at the Class A meet where he was timed in 15:28. Matt was also second to DJ at the Bowdoin X-C Classic (NY) and Injury Fund Carnival earlier in the season, too. The soon-to-be Georgetown runner has won two state titles for 3K (indoor and outdoor) and always performs well in championship-style meets. He'll more than likely share the front-running duties with DJ on Sunday. If the two runners are still together the final 800m, Matt has the ability to pull off the victory.
