CONWAY — The Kennett High girls’ cross-country ski team won its fifth consecutive Division II State Championship in Gilford last Tuesday on a glorious day for ski racing. The KHS boys came oh-so-close to winning a record eighth team titles in a row, but Hanover turned in sensational scores in the skate race to win the crown by just nine points.

Aside from a state championship and a runner-up plaque, Coach Steve Vosburgh’s Eagles cleaned up on the individual hardware. Senior Hannah Thelemarck won the classical race, while teammate Helen Badger, a junior, won the freestyle (skate), and senior Aidan Hagerty made it a true daily-double by winning both the classical and freestyle races for the boys. It’s the second year in a row that Hagerty has won both titles.
