Tiger girls' swim coach Jen Marshall summed up Thursday's 95-88 season-opening win over Apple Valley at Dodge Middle School in a word.
"Unbelievable" she said. "Many of the girls are already swimming times faster than last year's end of the season times."
Ironically, the Eagles won nine of the meet's 12 events but the Tigers' depth led to multiple second, third and fourth place finishes and the dual meet win.
Cora Ruzicka (100 butterfly), Kirsten Kracke (500 freestyle) and Kendall Novak (one-meter dive) provided the Farmington first-place finishes.
Five Tiger individuals posted runner-up finishes: Kaitlyn O'Reilly in the 100 and 200 freestyle; Elizabeth Wolfe in the 100 breaststroke; Delaney Wright in the 200 individual medley; and Robin Ellis in the 100 backstroke.
Farmington's depth really showed in third place finishes (9) where it racked up 27 points, more than a quarter of its team total.
