CONWAY — The U.S. Biathlon International Competition Committee on Sunday named a 10-athlete roster to compete in the opening events of the 2020-21 IBU World Cup circuit, which is scheduled to start this Saturday, Nov. 28. Among those on the team is Center Conway’s Sean Doherty, who is looking forward to this season after the 2019-20 season ended abruptly last March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Doherty, a 2014 and 2018 Olympian, is the most decorated junior biathlete ever with 10 career medals (four gold, four silver and two bronze).
