CONWAY — The Kennett High indoor track team is off and running. With three meets under their feet, the Eagles are making steady improvements and rounding into form heading into 2026.
The Eagles opened the New Year with their closest meet of the season, competing at the George Davis Track on the campus of Plymouth State University last Saturday. While no team scores were available on Milesplit.com, the hometown flock competed against Alvirne, Bedford, Coe-Brown Northwoood, Concord, Lebanon, Merrimack Valley, Milford, Nashua South and Pembroke Academy.
