Oswego Sectional

Oswego co-op was fifth (137.075), just .675 from its season high at regionals, but will have no state qualifiers after finishing fifth as a team in 2025.

Junior Frani Schulte came closest, taking eighth on floor (8.95), just .125 from a top-five automatic berth.

“It was a really good season,” Schulte said. “I think our team did really good for the amount of skills and in being a team. We were really together and kind of like family.”

Seniors Emily Kroll, Aly Zieba, Frani Valenti and currently injured Gabby Schulte and junior Alenna Holden also were part of last year’s team state lineup. Gabby Schulte, Frani’s sister, has been sidelined since December and will undergo shoulder surgery Feb. 18.

“I felt good (on floor),” Gabi Schulte said.“It was really fun, too, especially knowing my sister not being able to compete anymore, just being able to compete one more time for her. I was just having fun with it and not really caring what happened next.”
