For the first time all season the Tigers failed to bump up their team score, but in the end they did just well enough to win their second dual meet in three tries, a 136.75-136.0 squeaker over Rosemount Thursday, Dec. 30, in Rosemount.
"Well, it wasn't our best meet by far," Tiger coach Lynn Bauman said, "but it was a win. This is the first time we have ever beaten Rosemount."
Farmington won two individual events with Nadia Lorencz taking top honors in vaulting with a 9.3 mark and Terra Klima winning on the uneven bars with a score of 8.75.
"The highlight of the meet for us was Nadia on vault," Bauman said. "She was amazing."
Two Tigers tied for second in the all-around competition with Kiana Lord and Kylie Wharton posting identical 33.95 scores.
Wharton finished third on the balance beam (8.85) and unevens (8.35) while Lord scored a third in the vault (9.0).
Two other Farmington performers turned in fourth place efforts: Tahra Eckert on beam (8.65) and floor exercise (8.55) and Kathryn Beckett in vault (8.6).
Beckett ranked fifth on the beam (8.5) while Eckert and Lorencz tied for sixth in all-around with a total of 33.45 points.
The Tigers kick off the 2011 part of their schedule Tuesday, January 11, when defending Class AA state champion Northfield comes to town for a Missota Conference dual meet.
