Davis, a junior, finished the 5,000-meter race in a time of 20 minutes, 46.75 seconds. Teammate Leticia Gallegos finished 13th (22:53.68), but only the top seven advance.
Novie McCabe of Liberty Bell won the race in 19:06.93.
Tri-Cities Prep finished second in the team standings behind Liberty Bell, but there is just one team allocation for state.
The Tri-Cities Prep boys team finished fourth, picking up the final team spot to state. The Jaguars were led by Jacoby Wieber, who finished third overall in 16:58.07, just 17 seconds off the winning time of Justin Roosma of Walla Walla Valley Academy.
