The boys' cross country team repeated as NWC champions by beating Lincolnview 23-45 after placing 5 runners in the top 8 spots.

In one of the closest individual finishes since Mycah Grandstaff edged Colton Grothaus, Caleb Stechschulte won the race by a step.  With 500 meters to go in the race, Caleb still trailed Devon Bill of Lincolnview by 60 meters. When he turned the corner for the final straightaway Caleb found another gear and turned on the afterburners to "finish strong" and run down his opponent at the end to the cheers of the Grove faithful.

Freshman Trent Koch surprised a lot of people by finishing 3rd overall and earning 1st team all-NWC.  Senior captain Breece Pingle also garnered 1st team as he finished 5th in 17:52. Carson Closson (8th place), Roy Langhals (9th), Tanner Smith (14th) and the ever-improving Duece Alt (15th) rounded out the top 7 for the Dogs. Another pack of Dogs consisting of Derek Birkemeier, Caleb Morman, Tayden Pingle, and Rob Langhals finished 20th-23rd.
