Having two dual meets in three nights showed in the score book as the ninth-rated Tigers dropped a 145.55-136.65 dual meet decision to top-ranked Northfield Tuesday night, Jan. 27, in Northfield.
"The girls were a bit sore and tired due to just having a meet on Tuesday," Farmington coach Lynn Bauman said, "but I believe they held up pretty well. The judging was a bit difficult for both teams because they were short one judge."
Terra Klima scored the only first place finish for Farmington, tying for the top spot on the uneven bars with a 9.35 mark.
Nadia Lorencz tied for second in the vault (9.4), finished third in floor exercise (9.05) and placed third in all-around with a total score of 34.3.
Kylie Wharton tallied 33.95 points to take second in the all-around competition.
The Tigers will have five days to heal and prepare for their next meet, a non-conference dual with Faribault Tuesday night, Feb. 1, at the District Service Center.
