The 13th annual Tri-Cities Championship, the final outdoor meet of the fall season, begins at noon Saturday at George Prout Pool in Richland.
Kamiakin, Prosser, and Southridge will join the Bombers and 2008 champion Hanford at the varsity-only meet.
The Falcons delivered an upset last year -- they outscored Southridge by 32 points en route to ending Richland's seven-year reign at the top.
But can Hanford extend its dominance into 2009?
"I expect they to do really well," Richland/Hanford coach Kathy Piper said of the Falcons.
"We've put them into strong events, we're mid-season and in the middle of hard training."
There is no admission fee for spectators.

Walla Walla senior and Tri-City Channel Cat Annie Erickson was named for the second consecutive year to the USA Swimming Scholastic All-American team.
