MADISON, Maine — Matt McClintock, a Madison High School senior who earned All-American status in cross country as a senior, will attend the University of Purdue in the fall.

McClintock, a three-time Class C state champion, never lost a cross country race on his home soil as a senior for the Bulldogs, and he ran to 15th place in the Foot Locker National Championships in San Diego, earning him All-American honors.

McClintock was the first Maine schoolboy to achieve that feat since Ben True did so in 2003.

In addition to his 15th-place run at nationals, McClintock was third in the New England championships and sixth at the Foot Locker Northeast Regionals this fall.

BDN sports freelancer Ryan McLaughlin grew up in Brewer and is a lifelong fan of the New England Patriots, Boston Red Sox, Boston Celtics and Boston Bruins.
