CONWAY — Fresh off of being named to his third Olympic team, Center Conway’s Sean Doherty posted his best result of the 2021-22 IBU World Cup season by finishing 20th in the 10K sprint race in Oberhof, Germany, last Friday.

Recent unseasonably warm temperatures in the Oberhof area, according to the Team USA website, led to the men’s sprint being moved from Thursday to Friday. “The balmy conditions have also led organizers to use stored snow from their snow depot to restore the track,” the site stated.
