Chaska/Chanhassen finished atop the standings with 502 points, followed by Farmington 421, Northfield 407, Shakopee 300, Red Wing 237 and Holy Angels 20.
"It was a very fun meet today," coach Ryan Hamen said. "Our divers didn't do as well as we had hoped but our swimmers did better than expected."
Two Farmington individuals and one relay team came away from the meet as champions. Daniel Berg won the 50 freestyle and Brandon Dion captured the 100 butterfly.
Berg and Dion also teamed up with Eric Schimmel and Garrett Haugen to win the 400 freestyle relay, the final event of the day.
"Dan had a phenomenal day," Hamen said, "And Brandon is within half a second of the school record in the 100 butterfly."
