Four Neah Bay individuals and one relay earned spot at Tri-Districts, which will be held this Thursday at Port Angeles High School.

The Red Devils had nine individuals and two relays automatically qualify for Tri-Districts.
As with the girls, the top two boys at subdistricts advance. But they will be joined by the top four remaining times and distances from the three districts.
