Meanwhile, the Bethel girls continued their streak of dominance in the region under the helm of Coach Eddie Williams at CNU's Freeman Center on Monday with their fourth straight region indoor team championship.  Kali Watkins of Menchville and Domique Jordan of Woodside had the top individual performances of the day with US top five times.
