CONWAY — The Mount Washington Valley will once again have more than just a casual interest in the Winter Olympic Games in Beijing, China, next month. Residents will be rooting for one of their own — Sean Doherty of Center Conway — who was named to his third U.S. Olympic Biathlon Team on Monday night.
“I am very happy to make the Olympic team,” Doherty, 26, shared in an email Tuesday while traveling to Oberhof, Germany, for the next round of International Biathlon Union World Cup races. “It is a unique feeling to be headed to the games, and I am looking forward to representing the USA.”
