Best Nikon Lens for group shots?

Hello, let me first start by saying that i'm not a professional photographer. I'm just a guy with a camera who likes to take pictures. My son has asked me to come and take some group (up to 21 people) and individual pictures of his high school cross country team. I really need some advice on the lenses I should use.
Nikon D5000
Current lenses I own:
Nikon 18-55 kit - 3.5-5.6
Nikon 70-300 kit - 4.5-5.6
Nikon 50mm 1.8 g
Nikon 35mm 1.8 g
I'll most likely use the 50mm for the individual up close shots but i'm not sure what to use for the group shots and what aperture to use either. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
