Scituate High School sophomore Katelyn Bouyssou has placed fifth in the 48 kg class at judo's Cadet World Championships for 15- to 16-year-olds, held in Budapest, Hungary. Bouyssou competed as an independent wrestler last school year and advanced to the 103-pound semifinals Rhode Island's state meet. The Cadet Worlds, held for the first time this year, attracted 529 athletes from 70 nations, according to a news release from USA Judo. Bouyssou received a bye in the first round before defeating Bernadett Keliger of Hungary, who had won a bronze medal at the European Cadet Championships. She lost to Hiromi Endo (the eventual gold-medal winner) of Japan in the quarterfinal round, then rebounded to defeat Lien Moors of Belgium to advance to the medal round, where she lost to Julia Rosso of France. Bouyssou will compete in the Senior World Championships from Aug. 26-30 in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
