  Emily Kroll likes performing first on balance beam in the
• 0:19
  Aswego co Op Girls gymnastics lineup. Her final chance last
• 0:24
  season was the most memorable. Kroll began competition for the
• 0:27
  one theirs at the eight team state meet, their first
• 0:30
  team state appearance since two thousand and two. I was
• 0:34
  definitely very nerve wracking. It was fun to kind of
• 0:37
  start off my team strong with a solid routine, said Kroll,
• 0:40
  over counting eight point sixty seventy five. You were at
• 0:44
  the state meet, you were with your best friends. Just
• 0:46
  knowing they were all cheering me on and wanted me
• 0:48
  to do my best was honestly so fun. I just
• 0:51
  want to get back to that. This season's lineup has
• 0:55
  changed significantly, yet there are numerous reasons to be encouraged.
• 1:00
  Seniors al Zieba, Gabby Shulti, and Frannie Valenti and juniors
• 1:05
  Franie Shulti and Elena Holden returned from that fifth place
• 1:08
  state lineup one forty three being three two five points.
• 1:13
  These Wanthers currently have the states number fourteen season best
• 1:17
  score one hundred and thirty seven December tenth, and are
• 1:21
  ranked number thirteen based on top three scores. They finished
• 1:25
  second one thirty three point eight zero at their annual
• 1:28
  Tumble for the Troops Invitational December twenty ninth. We're really
• 1:33
  good at cheering each other on and being there for
• 1:35
  each other, Gabby Shulty said. It's definitely helped learning to
• 1:38
  become leaders, and because we had such great leaders last year,
• 1:42
  I feel like all the seniors have gotten really good
• 1:44
  at helping to control the team and step up when
• 1:46
  we need to step up. At twenty twenty five State
• 1:50
  Gabby Shulty even bars floor exercise and Frannie Shulty balance
• 1:55
  beam floor competed two events, and Valenti and Zieba volt
• 1:59
  kroll beam and holding onoven bars one each. I wish
• 2:03
  I could relive that moment again and again. It was
• 2:06
  the best time ever, Flente said. The team graduated stand
• 2:12
  out all arounders Ava Sullivan, Sam Phillip, and Veda Hak Sullivan,
• 2:18
  who won vault for the program's first state championship, and
• 2:21
  Philip became just its third and fourth top five all
• 2:24
  state finishers. Aswego. Co op coach Michael Borge said, four
• 2:28
  event all stater Sullivan was a particularly strong vocal leader.
• 2:33
  There's definitely changes since they're gone, but every time they
• 2:36
  visit it always brings positive energy, and we can still
• 2:40
  provide that positive energy. Valente said, We've been following their
• 2:44
  footsteps and trying to grow as leaders and be like them.
• 2:49
  In this year's learning curve, sixteen gymnasts have competed Varsity
• 2:53
  boards sees positives every meet with scores and progress as
• 2:57
  gymnasts and teammates. The one hundred and thirty seven point
• 3:01
  sixty five in the team's second outing and one hundred
• 3:04
  and thirty six point nine to five in the December
• 3:06
  eighteenth home opener were emotional boosts. We always have these
• 3:10
  little flashes of brilliance, but this year has been so
• 3:13
  many little injuries and kids are kind of in and out.
• 3:16
  Borge said. To see that kind of growth from our
• 3:19
  seniors of we know who we are is good. Now,
• 3:23
  it's how can we take things we really like and
• 3:25
  celebrate and how can we push that to the next level.
• 3:29
  Kroll is in her fourth varsity season, and Valenti and
• 3:32
  Gabby Shulty their third Zeeba joined last season, but was
• 3:37
  sidelined by a concussion until the Upstate eight Conference meet.
• 3:42
  Growing up, I was always club. I tried high school
• 3:44
  last year and I fell in love with it the
• 3:46
  first day, Zeba said, I'm really happy that I came
• 3:49
  into it, and I kind of wish I had done
• 3:50
  it sooner. At tumble for the Troops, Zebra was second
• 3:54
  with her one tuck Sukahara vault nine point zero that
• 3:57
  achieved her first nine point zero ever. Holden was third
• 4:01
  in all around thirty two thirty. Tying for fourth were
• 4:04
  Kroll on floor eight point eight and beam eight point seven,
• 4:08
  and Holden and Valenti on uneven bars eight point three.
• 4:12
  We all have our special spots. I think we all
• 4:14
  can make it to State if we just give it.
• 4:15
  Are all, Zeba said. Kroll shined on floor with the
• 4:20
  invite's final routine, following her first floor nine point one
