Cross country team

Caldwell High School's cross country team had one of the most dominant runs by any Ohio High School Athletic Association team, winning small-school state championships every year from 1985 to 1992. During several of these years, they were also arguably the best team in any division, since they beat the best large-school state champions from those years in regular-season races. Dugan Hill, who was also on a 1973 state title team at Caldwell, [cite news|url=http://www.cincypost.com/2004/05/31/preps05-31-2004.html|title=Ohio high schools ruled by dynasties|author=Rusty Miller|first=Rusty|last=Miller|date=2004-05-31|work=The Cincinnati Post|publisher=E.
