outsprinted
Passed with speed
Outsprinted is the past tense of outsprint, meaning to run faster than someone else in a sprint or short burst of speed.
It typically describes the decisive moment in a race when one competitor pulls ahead: She outsprinted the field in the final hundred meters.
The word implies not just speed but tactical timing—saving enough energy to surge past opponents when it counts.
