MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – For the third straight week, the Big 12 Conference has bestowed a weekly honor upon West Virginia University freshman gymnast Kirah Koshinski, as she was again named the Big 12 Newcomer of the Week.
A native of Berwick, Pennsylvania, Koshinski is the first Big 12 gymnast to earn three straight newcomer honors since Oklahoma’s Brenna Dowell earned three consecutive awards in 2015. She is the first Mountaineer gymnast to score three straight Big 12 weekly recognitions and only the second in program history to earn three Big 12 awards in one season; Alaska Richardson was named the Big 12 Event Specialist of the Week three times in 2013.
