CONWAY — With the Winter Olympic Games, earmarked for Cortina, Italy, a mere 121 days away, two Kennett High graduates — Grace Castonguay and Sean Doherty — are on track to represent the United States in biathlon there. Both took a major step in that direction on Wednesday when they were selected to the team roster for the European pre-season camp taking place in Obertilliach, Austria, in November.
Doherty, 28, of Center Conway, is a 2013 graduate of Kennett. He competed in the last three Winter Olympics: In Sochi, Russia, in 2014; in PyeongChang, South Korea, in 2018; and in Beijing in 2022.
