CONWAY — Kennett High turned in a few top-notch performances at the prestigious Meet of Champions on Saturday afternoon at the University of New Hampshire in Durham. The meet brought together the top 16 athletes in each event from Division I, II and III.
Coach Bernie Livingston had a few athletes on the bubble going into the meet, and two of his five hopefuls — Chris Desmaris and Trey Snowden — made it into the talented field and got to compete.
