BELOIT, Wis. – If there was even the slightest doubt of the Grinnell College men's cross country team continuing its Midwest Conference dominance, those thoughts were extinguished – and then some –

Saturday morning.
 
The Pioneers beat runner-up Monmouth College by 50 points en route to its fifth league title in a row at the Beloit Club Golf Course. Grinnell had six all-conference performers while winning its 19th crown in the past 20 years and 29th in the past 31.
 
Grinnell, with 33 points, was led by John Lennon '19 who jumped onto the program's all-time best performance list. He was second in the 116-runner field with a time of 26:15.6 on the 8-kilometer course, earning all-conference honors for the first time. Jensen's time is 50th on the Pioneers' all-time board.
 
The Pioneers put four more in the top 11, paced by Anthony McLean's '17 fifth-place finish in 26:36.0. Jackson Schulte '20 was seventh in 26:39.4, Matthew McCarthy '17 was eighth in 26:41.3 and Pieter Hansen '19 claimed 11th in 26:43.7.
