CONWAY — Off and running and handle the hurdles that come with the COVID-19 pandemic — that’s how the season has started for the Kennett High track team, which has been able to compete in pair of away meets to open the 2021 campaign.
The Eagles had just one day of practice before their first meet in Laconia on April 20 after being shut down for 10 days due to COVID-19. Still, Coach Bernie Livingston was excited for his squad to get the opportunity to throw, jump and run against another school.
