Coach Jen Marshall's team finished a solid fourth in the final team standings although Marshall said the trip wasn't only about points and rankings.
"The girls performed decently but they were a bit sluggish in the water," she said. "We were happy with things though as this was more of a team bonding trip than anything else. It was a lot of fun."
Prior Lake won the team title with 410 points, well ahead of runner-up Chaska who finished at 283. Faribault totaled 257, Farmington 237, Grand Rapids 229, Roseville 195, Andover 171.5, Duluth East 171, Blaine 119, Superior (Wisc) 92.5, Mesabi East 64 and Duluth Denfeld 36.
Chelsea Gehrke paced the Tigers with a second place effort in the 100 butterfly and a third place showing in the 200 individual medley.
