CONWAY — The Kennett High cross-country team is off and running. The boys and girls have been impressive in their 2020 debut with solid results at Berlin High on Sept. 25 and in the annual Kennett Invitational, run last Saturday on the picturesque fields at the Kennett Middle School in Conway Village.
“I’m so happy for us to be back and to be able to do this,” Bernie Livingston, Eagles’ head coach, said at Saturday’s lone home meet where the team hosted Berlin, Gorham, Kingswood, and Plymouth in what will be the largest meet of the regular season.
