From practice to performance: OPC’s journey to State
For the fourth time in school history, Oswego varsity cheer punched their ticket to state with the season ending sooner than they hoped, not continuing to day two. Co-Head Cheer Coach Emily Gaw said, “We started off so strong with multiple hits and many trophies… but the best part has honestly just been being together.” The team competed at the Grossinger Arena in Bloomington on Sat. 7, placing 14 out of 25, scoring a 89.49 out of 100. OH senior backspot and co-ed base Nick Waldron said that the biggest accomplishment for the season has been “placing first at our home comp then making it to State.”
