The men and women will alternate days with the men competing Wednesday and Friday and the women on Thursday and Saturday. The Yotes have a program record 26 entries with 25 athletes competing in those entries. 18 of the 25 are making their debut.
At the NCAA preliminary round, the nation is split in half between the NCAA West and NCAA East regions.
