Coach Tom Hart juggled his lineup at Thursday's low-key Shakopee Invitational in preparation for next Tuesday's True Team section meet.

Still, the Tigers came away with five first place and five second place finishes at the meet. Final team scores were not available at the time this story was posted.

Nadia Lorencz, who owns the state's top marks in the long, jump, triple jump and 100-meter hurdles, won two events, but neither came in her specialties. Instead she led the field in the 100-meter dash and high jump.

Ashley Durbin won the 300-meter hurdles and the Tigers 4x100 (Alyssa Parco, Izzie Ferm, Megan Graham and Alicia Hett) and 4x200 (Madison Bowe, Kali Andriano-Allard, Vermeiere MacKenzie and Kesley Lindell) meter relay teams were also victorious.
