Three of Gannon's teams took to the floor in prelim competition Thursday. Game day turned in an 82.77 final score with just a half-point in deductions, coming in just 0.06 behind first-place West Florida in the Game Day Open division.
The Golden Knights are locked in a tight battle for the championship, as the top three teams are separated by just a total of 0.60 points. Gannon scored the highest marks in the division in visual appeal (8.50) and crowd leading skill incorporation (8.30).
The coed team sits in third place after the prelims with a 90.73. They had the second-fewest deductions in the advanced small coed open division, and are less than a point back of second-place Limestone.
Gannon scored well in jumps (9.70), tosses (9.10) and standing tumbling (9.10).
In the dance team performance, Gannon topped its prelim score from two years ago, finishing with an 81.64 to place sixth in the prelims.
The Golden Knights scored high in performance impression (8.86), uniformity (7.94), pom choreography (7.96) and staging (7.92).
In the cheer divisions, Thursday's prelim score counts for 25 percent of the team's final score, with Friday's final taking the other 75 percent. For dance, the prelim score just sets the order of performances for the final.
The Division II dance team performance finals begin at 12:44 p.m. Friday. Coed finals start at 3:20, and game day finals at 4:24. Gannon also has the dance team competing in the hip hop prelims at 3:48.
