The winter sports season has entered February and local athletes have found their stride.
Here are the top prep performers from Jan. 26 – Feb. 1 in the Oshkosh and Fond du Lac area.
Every week, the number of top performers per sport can change, and the list just includes standout performances that deserve recognition. One more standard that is set is that there’s no more than one athlete chosen per team, per sport.
To submit a nomination, please email Ben Schultz at BSchultz@usatodayco.com with the athlete’s name, school, sport and what they did to deserve the nomination. Please send your nominations by the end of the night on Sundays.
