GORHAM, Maine — The Kennett High indoor track team made its lone trip to the Pine Tree State this winter when the Eagles competed at the University of Southern Maine’s Field House in Gorham, Maine, on Dec. 20.
It was Kennett’s second meet of the young season, and Coach Bernie Livingston saw a marked improvement from the opening meet at the University of New Hampshire’s Paul Sweet Oval on Dec. 14. Despite missing a flock of Eagles due to sickness, injury and vacation, Livingston was pleased.
