Brookville made it a sweep of the team titles at the Seminole District Meet and will attempt to do it again with the Brookville boys and girls as the top ranked teams in Region III prior to this week's Region III Championships. The Heritage girls will make it a close contest for the Lady Bees, while Massanutten District squads Turner Ashby and Harrisonburg will attempt to close the gap on the Ethan Nixon-led Brookville boys.
