Prelims Coverage, Thursday, April 6th:
When it was time for the much anticipated D1A Large Coed teams to take the mat in Prelims, everyone in the Ocean Center was on their feet!

Louisville, who just earned the division title back in 2016, was looking to hold on to the crown, while Oklahoma State University came hungry for a hit in hopes of taking back the title. Texas Tech also performed an incredibly difficult routine rivaling the defending champs and could be a top contender in Finals on Friday.
