FARMINGTON – A season of progress for the Farmington boys program has yielded an increased presence at the 2025 MSHSAA Swimming and Diving championships.

Senior Will Adams will appear in the 100-meter breaststroke, ranked 22nd, and the 200 medley relay crew heads into action seeded 23rd.

Kaden Johnson and Mason Folk will join Van Zee and Adams for the 400 freestyle relay.
