The WPIAL team track and field finals are set after Tuesday's semifinal meets, and three of the four champions from 2017 will have a shot to defend their titles.
The Butler girls (AAA), Riverside boys (AA) and Burrell girls (AA) will attempt to win their second titles in a row Monday at Baldwin High School. All four meets begin at 4 p.m.
In boys Class AAA, North Allegheny and Norwin return to the finals and will compete with Hempfield and Butler.
Seneca Valley, last year's boys champ in Class AAA, didn't qualify for this year's team tournament.
The same four teams return from last year in girls Class AAA, as Butler will be joined by North Allegheny, Hempfield and Norwin.
The Class AA boys final four will feature Riverside with Freedom, Mohawk and South Park. Riverside is the only team of the four to compete at last year's WPIAL finals.
In girls Class AA, Burrell hopes to fend off the challenges of Shenango, Beaver and Mohawk. Beaver also competed for the title in 2017.
