Coeur d’Alene won the girls team title with 29 points followed by Vallivue (87), Boise (92) and Rocky Mountain (98).

The Grizzlies had 57 points, while second-place Capital had 89, Coeur d’Alene (122) was third and Meridian (141) fourth.

“The way the race was the last 100 meters, I thought for sure that I was going to get second,” Stucker said. “It was ridiculous. I was kind of starting to prepare myself for getting second and then I saw I was gaining on him and at the very, very last second I passed him.”
