Farmington won the first four events and flew by the Chaska Hawks 100-80 Thursday, Oct. 7, in a Missota Conference dual meet held at the Dodge Middle School pool.
The 200 individual medley relay quartet of Kirsten Kracke, Elizabeth Wolfe, Caitlin Kracke and Ellie Sundet won the opening event and the home team was never threatened.
The Tigers led by a lopsided 100-55 before swimming the final two events as exhibitions (no points scored).
O'Reilly, the Kracke sisters and Abby Haugen also posted a win in a relay event, leading the field in the 200 freestyle.
O'Reilly made it four first place finishes for the night by winning the 100 backstroke and 200 freestyle
Farmington claimed three other firsts in the runaway win: Kaitlin Kracke in the 50 freestyle; Sarah O'Reilly in the 100 freestyle and Caitlin Kracke in the 200 individual medley.
Four more Farmington performers placed second: Chloe Holton, 100 butterfly; Nikki Cayard, one-meter dive; Sundet, 100 backstroke and Haugen 100 freestyle.
"Last night's meet allowed us to solidify our conference and section team," coach Jen Marshall said. "Overall, we had some great performances. Chloe Holton looked really strong in the fly and Sara Kinter was impressive in the breaststroke."
