Grinnell, IA. -- The Men's and Women's Cross Country Teams made the 5-hour trek to Grinnell, Iowa this weekend to compete with 18 other teams in the 57th Annual Les Duke Cross Country Invite. Fortified by Friday's EMC meeting (Don't Stop Believing Hold On To That Healing!), Dr. Westerfhof's moving speech at Convocation, and a group lesson reading early Saturday morning at the hotel, the teams overcame several obstacles to joyously demonstrate perseverance with purpose on an unexpectedly clear and temperate race day.
