CONWAY — Competing at home for the final time this season, the Kennett High boys’ and girls’ track teams had a day to remember as both squads took top team honors in Livingston Oval in a four-school meet against Berlin, Inter-Lakes and Laconia last Tuesday. The highlight of the meet was a school record-setting performance in the 100-meter dash by KHS freshman Aida Wheat.
Wheat ran a 12.70 in the wind to break the former mark of 12.74 set in 2014 by Selena Gauthier.
