Ridgefield High School runner Steven Hergenrother made news this week. Not only did he win the Boys Cross Country State Champion title for the second year in a row, but he donated the $1000 grant he earned as Gatorade's Athlete of the Year to the nonprofit Kicks for Kids, to buy new running shoes for lower-income Connecticut youth.
Both on and off the field (and track) this Ridgefield athlete is a winner. Thank you, Steven!
