CONWAY — Bragging rights go to the White Mountain Milers, who took team honors for the women and men in the annual Kennett Challenge Race on Tuesday in the fields at the Kennett Middle School. The fun two-mile race pitted the silverbacks (the White Mountain Milers) against the young whippersnappers (Kennett High and Fryeburg Academy cross-country teams).

It gave coaches Bernie Livingston of Kennett and Bill Reilly of Fryeburg an opportunity to get athletes a final preseason tuneup in a relaxed racing atmosphere.
