The Tigers won eight of the first 10 events and ran up a 95-61 lead before swimming the final two contests as exhibitions with no points scored.
The fleet foursome of Sydney Geiger, Chelsea Gehrke, Chloe Holton and Kirsten Kracke got the Tigers off to a fast start with a win in 200 medley relay.
By the time the final points were tallied, four different Tigers had posted a pair of first place finishes: Kracke in the relay and 50 freestyle; Gehrke in the relay and 100 backstroke; Holton in the relay and 500 freestyle and Kaitlyn O'Reilly in the 100 and 200 freestyle.
The other Tiger firsts came from Cora Ruzicka in the 200 individual medley and Kendall Novak on the one-meter board.
Tori Sontag took second and Melanie Brothers third to give the visitors a one-two-three sweep in the diving competition.
"I thought the divers really stepped up in this meet," Tiger coach Jen Marshall said. "Many of the had season-best scores."
Two other Farmington performers scored second place points, Ellie Sundet in the 100 freestyle and Gehrke in the 50 freestyle.
The Tigers checked in with third place finishes in six other events: Robin Ellis in the 200 individual medley and 100 freestyle; Sundet in the 200 freestyle; Kracke in the 100 butterfly; Hannah Seitzinger in the 500 freestyle and Lexi Bray in the 100 backstroke.
Saturday's True Team section meet kicks off what Marshall calls the "championship season." The Missota Conference meet is scheduled for Oct. 27 at Northfield and the Section 1AA Championships occur Nov. 8 and Nov. 10 in Rochester.
