The Tigers geared up for their 2011 season with a meet at the new indoor facility at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul. Hill-Murray, Totino Grace, Edina and East Ridge also participated in the five-team get-together.
"We brought most of the younger kids to try and get them some experience and a scrimmage meet before the real thing happens," coach Tom Hart said. "There were some really good efforts and times for this early in the season."
Farmington had particular success in the relay events, scoring a pair of firsts and a runner-up finish.
The 4x800 foursome of Bailey Opsal, Devyn Alberts, Hannah Seitzinger and Abby Kampa crossed the line first as did the 4x400 quartet of Erin Hickey, Meghan Graham, Courtney Johnston and Seitzinger.
The 4x200 relay team of Johnston, Mary Cline, Alysha Grebner and Shaye Jenrich placed second.
Individually, eighth-grader Graham won the 400-meter dash and classmate Tori Jacoby claimed victory in the 3200-meter distance race.
Jordan Bridges also got her senior season off to a good start, clearing 4-10 in the high jump.
Next up for the Tigers is a Saturday (April 9) appareance at an indoor meet hosted by Holy Angels at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls.
