MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia University freshman gymnast Kirah Koshinski was honored by the Big 12 Conference today, as she was named the Big 12 Newcomer of the Week for the second time in as many weeks.
Koshinski is the first Mountaineer gymnast to earn Big 12 weekly honors in back-to-back weeks since Hope Sloanhoffer was named the Big 12 Gymnast of the Week on Jan. 28, 2014, and Feb. 4, 2014. She is the second WVU gymnast to score two career Big 12 Newcomer of the Week honors, as senior Jaida Lawrence also was honored twice in 2013.
