CONWAY — The Conway School Board had some special guests of honor on Feb. 28 — the three-time defending state champion Kennett High girls’ alpine team was recognized for its recent success on the slopes.

“Congratulations,” Kennett High Principal Kevin Carpenter said as he introduced the team at the outset of the board’s meeting in the Professional Development Center at the Kennett Middle School. “This is the three-time now defending state champions for Division II downhill. So it's a huge testament to the program, the hard work and everything that the girls have put into this season. So thank you guys for representing us so well at school and on the slopes. They had another good showing as well at the Meet of Champions (Feb. 24 at Cannon Mountain in Franconia), so just congratulations guys.”
