The more important issue concerned the remainder of the schedule, namely the upcoming Missota Conference and Section 1AA meets.
"I love having this meet the week of the conference championships because it gives us a chance to fine-tune things in our races," Marshall said.
"We also swam some off-events in an effort to make sure we are putting personnel where they will be most successful, both individually and for the team."
Farmington won four events in its final dual meet of the year, three by individuals and one in a relay.
Kaitlyn O'Reilly (100 butterfly) and Kirsten Kracke (50 freestyle) each grabbed a first in a swimming event and diver Kendall Novak continued her hot streak with a victory on the one-meter board.
The relay win came in the 400 freestyle where the foursome of Kracke, O'Reilly, Cora Ruzicka and Chelsea Gehrke led the field.
The Tigers also scored second place finishes in four individual events and two relays. The individual runner-up finishes came from O'Reilly in the 100 backstroke; Kracke in the 100 freestyle; Ruzicka in the 200 individual medley and Sara Kintner in the 200 freestyle.
The quartet of Kracke, O'Reilly, Ruzicka and Gehrke placed second in the 200 medley relay. Hannah Seitzinger, Emily Ley, Grace Roach and Ellie Sundet combined to take second in the 200 freestyle relay.
The Section 1AA True Team section champions also earned third place points in six other events: Gehrke in the 100 freestyle and 100 backstroke; Ley in the 50 freestyle; Sundet in the 500 freestyle; Ruzicka in the 100 butterfly and Kintner in the 100 breaststroke.
Saturday the girls travel to Shakopee for the Missota Conference Championships. The Section 1AA meet is scheduled for Nov. 7 and Nov. 9 in Rochester.
"We're looking forward to Saturday and the rest of championship season," Marshall said.
