CONWAY — There are now twice as many reasons for locals to follow the U.S. Biathlon Team this winter. Two Kennett High alumni — Sean Doherty and Grace Castonguay — have been selected to the team roster for the European pre-season camp taking place in Vuokatti, Finland, starting next Monday.
Doherty was the U.S. Biathlon Association’s Male Athlete of the Year, while Castonguay was named the association’s Female Junior Athlete of the Year on Oct. 14.
