Chanhassen won the meet with 97.5 points. Farmington tallied 78, Shakopee 39.5 and Chaska had four.
"We ran some of our varsity kids in different events," coach Tom Hart said. "It was good to get the kids a meet and have everyone get a chance to compete. We saw some very good performances in less than ideal weather...The sprinters looked very good and there were a lot of battles in the relays."
The Tigers won nine events, including individual titles by Rachel Kiminski in the 100-meter hurdles; Morgan Cecchittini in the 100-meter dash; Leah Kiage in the 300-meter hurdles; Jennifer Miller in the long jump; Kelli Elmer in the discus and April Morris in the discus.
The other four blue ribbon performances came from the relay teams who put together a clean sweep of the team events. The regular 4x400 quartet of Megan Graham, Maria Kiminski, Alicia Hett and Isabelle Ferm won the 4x800 and the team of Graham, Hett, Ferm and Emma Record led the field in the 4x100.
The 4x400 relay went to the foursome of Racquel Beckett, Elizabeth Welter, Kiage and Gabrielle Fettig and the team of Miller, Courtney Johnson, Madison Bowe and Kelsey Lindell edging the grouping of Record, Beckett, Rachel Kiminski and Mikayla Ford by less than a second in the 4x200.
Three Farmington entrants scored second place points: Elmer in the high jump; Kathryn Beckett in the shot put and Jordan Walls in the long jump.
Itzell Flores took third in the 200-meter dash and Morris ranked third in the discus.
Tuesday the Tigers are hoping for some spring-like weather when they travel to Lakeville North for the Section 1AA True Team Championships.
