Emily Phelps gave it everything she had Tuesday for her team.
Phelps outkicked Prairie’s Meri Dunford at the finish line, helping the Fort Vancouver girls cross country team earn a rare dual-meet victory over the host Falcons at Lewisville Park.
Phelps covered the 5,000-meter course in 19 minutes, 35.6 seconds. Dunford finished in 19:35.9.
“What I really wanted to do is win it for my team, because I really didn’t know where everyone else was,” Phelps said. “So it was really important that we showed up as a team to just do our best. So I just put it down (at the end of the race).”
As it turned out, the Trappers didn’t need that point edge Phelps earned them as Fort won 24-31. Fort junior Anna Harrison was third in 20:45.
It was a Fort individual sweep as Drew Weber won the boys race in 17:38. With four freshmen in its varsity seven, Prairie took the boys team victory 20-43. Prairie’s Luke Lund was second in 17:56.
