MCFARLAND - The Monroe girls track team will send five individuals and two relay teams to the sectional after their performances in the WIAA Division 2 McFarland regional Tuesday.

Monroe finished third place in the regional as a team (89 points). McFarland edged Madison Edgewood for the regional title 118-113.
"We qualified a few more people for the sectional than I thought we would," Monroe girls track coach Matt Davis said. "I think overall the girls were happy with their performance."
