DURHAM — Kennett High junior Aida Wheat had a night to remember at the Division II New Hampshire Track and Field Championships on Friday when she broke the school record in winning both the 100- and 200-meter dashes and then anchored the 4X100 relay team to a second-place finish at Oyster River High School in Durham. Her performance helped propel the KHS girls to third overall out of 20 schools.
The Kennett boys were 16th on the night but turned in several personal-best performances.
