A strong Prior Lake team won eight of 12 events on the way to a 100-86 dual meet win over the Tigers Tuesday night at the Dodge Middle School pool.

"We had a lot of our boys swim close to their best times and we lost a lot of close races at the finish," coach Ryan Hamen said. "But our divers won three of the top four places so that helped us."

Christopher Kirchmann was in on two of the Farmington firsts, winning the 50 freestyle and teaming with Dahlton Bell, Dan Berg and Eric Schimmel to take top honors in the 200 freestyle relay. Kirchmann also took second in the 100 freestyle.

Evan Carufel easily won on the one-meter board with teammates Jonathan Bovee and Sean Dougherty taking second and fourth respectively.

Aaron Cochnauer supplied the other Tiger first place finish with a winning effort in the 100 butterfly.

Three other Farmington entrants scored second place points: Cochnauer, 200 freestyle; Austin Kueck, 500 freestyle and Nick Stephan, 100 breaststroke.

Four more Tigers combined for five third place finishes, including, Oliver Chow, 200 individual medley and 100 backstroke; Spencer Kabran, 100 breaststroke; Cameron Molnar, 200 freestyle and Schimmel, 100 freestyle.

Next up for the Tigers is date with Rochester Century Thursday night in Rochester.
