Jumper Nadia Lorencz scored the other Farmington first with a win in the long jump with a leap of 17-5.5. Lorencz also took second in the triple jump and sixth in the 100-meter hurdles.
The 4x400 meter relay foursome of Parco, Hickey, Meghan Graham and Amy Kiminski took third place as did Hickey in the long jump.
Kiminski finished fourth with a season-best 61:56 clocking in the 400-meter dash and Bailey Opsal lowered her best time this season by nine seconds in placing fifth in the 1600-meter run.
