Nick Grubiss walked on to the Chico State men's cross country team in the spring of 2012. He redshirted that season. Then, during an injury-riddled redshirt freshman campaign in 2013, he competed just one time.
 
So when Grubiss crossed the finish line at the 2014 NCAA Championships 93rd out of 245 finishers Saturday it wasn't just a one-day accomplishment. It was the culmination of three years of ups and downs.
 
Grubiss, the Chico State athletics Wildcat of the Week, ran like a man possessed. According to Head Coach Gary Towne: "He did a great job of getting out early and getting after it."
 
The sophomore's sensational effort from the start led to a painful final stretch. He crossed the line with nothing left in the tank – just the way Towne would have it.
 
Grubiss finished the season with All-California Collegiate Athletic Association honors after finishing seventh and leading the team to its conference-record tying 13th consecutive title. He earned All-West Region honors by finishing sixth as the Wildcats won their third straight regional title and 11th in the past 13 seasons.
