Coming down to the final race, St. Peter was able to eke out a victory over host Litchfield.

"This meet was probably one of the loudest meets I have ever witnessed," Dragons head coach Ashlynn Mattson said via e-mail. "It was one of those edge-of-your-seats kind of meet. As the head coach, this one stings to type.

"They worked to the very end. We lost to this team by 20 points this last year and we came back to almost beat them. I'm proud of this team but we will continue to work to improve what would have helped us win tonight."
