CONWAY — Kennett High, the defending state and national ski jumping champions, did their coach proud on Friday night. Hosting their first meet on the newly named Chip Henry Ski Jump, the Eagles took team honors and also swept the top three individual spots at the lone home meet of the season on the Kancamagus Highway on a chilly Friday night before an enthusiastic crowd.

“Everything went great,” said Coach Henry. “Our Kennett jumpers braved the cool temps and jumped very well. Due to COVID, we started our season last Wednesday with our first jumps of the season. All of our athletes quickly moved from our K20 meter hill to the K35 and looked confident, like they had been jumping for months.”
