Farmington's team score continued to trend upward but it wasn't enough to beat New Prague in a 141.85-138.1 loss to the Trojans Tuesday night, Dec. 14, in New Prague.
"The girls had a good meet," coach Lynn Bauman said. "We just keep getting better...We still have a few falls we could do without but I enjoyed watching the girls support each other through the whole meet."
Terra Klima provided the only Farmington individual win, capturing the uneven bars title with a mark of 8.625.
Kiana Lord took second in all-around with a 35.075 point total and Nadia Lorencz ranked second in vaulting at 9.05.
Lord placed third on the balance beam (9.025); fourth in vaulting (8.9) and fifth on the unevens (8.2).
Kylie Wharton placed fourth in floor exercise (9.05) and third in all-around (34.4). Kathryn Beckett finished fourth in all-around with a 32.325 total.
Saturday, Dec. 18, the girls travel to Annandale for a multiple school meet that Bauman said will be good for her team.
"We are really looking forward to it," she said. "There will be a lot of teams there that we usually don't see."
