The Division 2 Girls race was the last of the morning races in which the Flagstaff Eagles looked to sweep the Team Titles. In addition to the team race, Hana Hall (Jr.) had been favored to win the girls individual title as the faster of two girls under 18-minutes for 5km. That didn't stop Stefana Purkovic (North Canyon, Sr.) from leading the race for the Rattler girls. Over the first mile, Purkovic led Hall and Emily Stutesman (Deer Valley, Sr.) less than a second apart from one another.
By the 2-mile mark Hall had overtaken Purkovic by a little over 5 seconds with Stutesman still in tow. Hall continued to open the gap and secured her first State Title in 18:07. It was also Flagstaff's first individual State Title since Courtney Lewis' (Class of 2016) victory just three years ago. Purkovic finished 2nd in 18:38 followed by Stutesman in 18:43 for their top career finishes.
Grace Tipton (Cactus Shadows, So.) capped off her season with a 4th place finish, 20 spots higher than last year's finish. Freshman Jadyn Herron-Jonap (Casteel) and Emma Francone (Rincon University) finished 5th and 6th as two of the top freshmen in the state. Brianna White (Flagstaff, Jr.) punched in another seven points for the Eagles in 19:45. Merit Thompson (Cactus Shadows, So.) and Grace Driskill (Rincon University, Sr.) finished under 20-minutes for 5km, and Cassandra Ogburn (North Canyon, Sr.) rounded out the top-10 in 20:03.
In the team races, North Canyon and Flagstaff traded places through the first two miles. North Canyon briefly held the lead over Flagstaff after the first mile and though the Rattlers maintained a closer spread through the 2-mile mark, the Eagles managed to position their girls to take over the lead by a single point. It was a tight last mile with both teams just pushing to hold onto as many key points as possible but in the end, Flagstaff held off North Canyon by just two points to clinch the Girls Team Title with a total score of 94 points. The Flagstaff Eagles had completed their sweep of the team title for the fourth consecutive year.
