CONWAY — The Kennett High and Fryeburg Academy mountain bike teams wrapped up the season in the Northern New England Mountain Bike Championship at Titcomb Mountain in Farmington, Maine, on Oct. 25. The championships came just three days after the Eagles hosted their lone meet on Oct. 22.
“We had a great season,” said Steve Nichipor, Eagles’ head coach. “I think having the clinic during the preseason made a difference. Those skills carried over for us.”
