CONWAY — Corey Dowe, the health teacher at Kennett Middle School, received quite the surprise on Friday afternoon. A pep rally, complete with the Kennett High Drumline serenading her through the hallways, was held in Dowe’s honor to celebrate her being named to Team USA. She will compete at the inaugural World Mountain & Trail Running Championships this Sunday in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Dowe of North Conway and Paul Kirsch of Madison, who is the manager for the U20 Mountain Team are both looking forward to the adventure.
