NICE TO GET ALL THE SNOW to get us all into the spirit as the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics kick into gear on the other side of the globe and we root for Center Conway’s U.S. Biathlon Team member Sean Doherty as he competes in his third Winter Games.
The son of Mary and Dan Doherty of Center Conway, Doherty will compete today Feb. 5 in the mixed relay, the individual on Feb. 8, the sprint on Feb. 12 and the pursuit Feb. 13. He carries on Mount Washington Valley’s proud Winter Olympics heritage.
