Quite possibly the deepest region in the state regardless of classification as many would say that Group AA\'s Region II can hold its own with the likes of the Central Region and Northern Region in Group AAA, the Brentsville boys and girls simply toyed with the field at the regional meet held at Great Meadows with convincing wins over quality competition. The Brentsville boys were led by regional champion Nick Gehlsen who clocked a PR of 15:49 and teammates Adam Henken (3rd, 15:58) and Henry Melius (4th, 16:06) who garnered top four finishes. Filling out an incredible top five were seniors Eric Ekholm (17th, 16:33) and Eric Truschel (33rd, 16:51). Advancing out of the region with Brentsville were three other teams that could very well see themselves making out the next three finishers behind Brentsville at states as well with Western Albemarle (2nd, 107 pts), Sherando (3rd, 110 pts), and Fort Defiance (4th, 115 pts).
The Western Albemarle girls streak of Region II titles came to an end as expected with the favored Nike Team Nationals ranked Brentsville girls winning by a 53 point margin. The Lady Tigers (38 pts) were led by race winner Becky Stewart (18:25.75) who outkicked Western Albemarle senior Samantha Stafford down the final stretch to seize the regional crown in an exciting individual battle. The Brentsville girls fit their remaining top six in the top 20 and under 20 minutes with All-Region performers Amelia Emerson (5th, 19:02), Lauren Bussian (7th, 19:06.87), and Julia Mitchell (13th, 19:37) as well as Maggie Gentry (16th, 19:43) and Samantha Woodward (19th, 19:54).
The Western Albemarle girls (91 pts) were just able to hold off John Handley (94 pts) for runner-up honors by three points, while Harrisonburg (4th, 177 pts) took the final qualifying spot for states.
