Come watch top High School competitors from around the state soar over 100 feet under the lights at Oak Hill in Hanover. Cheer for the Hanover High jumping team!

DIRECTIONS

• From downtown Hanover take Lyme Road (Rt 10 North to the first rotary just before the COOP Foodstore).
• Take the first right off the rotary onto Reservoir Road.
• Reservoir Road comes to a “T” after roughly 0.7 miles.
• Take a left down to the Storrs Pond/Oak Hill ski complex.
• Park there. The jumps are up the hill to the left (hidden by a few trees). From the parking lot you’ll see the lights from the ski jumping complex shining through the trees.

Hurrah for Jay! We can’t imagine a more deserving person to be recognized with this award. Below is the beginning of the NENSA article on Jay. Go here for the complete text and photos.
