No. 1 rated Northfield easily won the meet with 150.525 points. Farmington finished at 134.125 and Red Wing 123.7.
"Our girls hadn't practiced since Thursday due to school closings," coach Lynn Bauman said. "That being said, I think they did pretty well. Abby Schwartz stuck another beam routine and that is always a good feeling. I'm looking forward to other girls doing that also."
When the results were stacked up against each other the Tigers dominated the place sheet in the competition with Red Wing, taking first in all four events and the all-around.
Schwartz led the Farmington effort with three first place finishes. She won the balance beam (8.65) and floor exercise (8.425) events outright and tied teammate Amanda Davenport for honors on the uneven bars with an 8.3 mark.
Tahra Eckert topped the stat sheet in vaulting with a 9.225 mark and Davenport forged a first place in all-around with a 33.725 score. Davenport also took second on beam and third in floor exercise.
Rachel Kiminski placed in three events: third on bars and fourth in beam and vault. Eckert and Kathryn Beckett placed second and fourth respectively in floor exercise.
Places were harder to come by against Northfield with Davenport topping the Tiger charts with a fourth place effort in all-around.
Farmington entries finished fifth in four other events: Schwartz, beam and floor; Davenport, bars and Eckert, vaulting.
The Tiger junior varsity also beat Red Wing and lost by a scant .05 of a point to Northfield.
In the Red Wing match-up, Sam Kramer (vault), Sidney Comes (bars), Gina Mercurio (beam) and Kiminski (floor) all won individual events. Ashley Ellefson claimed the all-around title. Comes and Kiminski each won first place honors in their respective events against Northfield.
The JV was coming off a big win in a four-team meet held last Saturday at Cottage Grove. Farmington won the meet with a score of 130.70. Roseville was second at 128.80, followed by Park of Cottage Grove 126.95 and Lakeville South 126.90.
