Manchester Memorial, Kennedy break records

State Meet Highlights

A week after the three division championships sort out team champions everyone returns a week later for the Meet of Champions and gets down to brass tacks to find out who’s really the best in New Hampshire. It’s a chance, for some, to focus on one event and get it right. The meet returned to Londonderry High School.
