Four White River Hornets are headed to the Class 2A state track and field championship, based on their top five performances in last week’s district meet.

State competition is slated for Thursday through Saturday at Mount Tahoma High School in Tacoma.

For both the boys and girls, the top five in each event earned a state berth.
