THE RECORD

You couldn’t blame Michael Thurston for being tired after running in three races during the Jack Yockers Bergen County Relays in Oradell.

Michael Thurston

Sport: Track Class: Junior Age: 17

Accomplishment: Thurston helped Ridgewood win two events and take second and third in two others during the Jack Yockers Bergen County Relays.

But two things managed to put a little spring back in the Ridgewood junior’s stride Saturday as he got ready to run his fourth and final event, the 4-x-400.

First, he wanted to do his best. He knew his teammates were counting on him to help them hold on to second place in the Division A standings.
