MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Following a strong showing in her collegiate debut, West Virginia University freshman gymnast Kirah Koshinski has been named the Big 12 Newcomer of the Week.
A native of Berwick, Pennsylvania, Koshinski paced the Mountaineers (0-2, 0-1) on three events in the team’s third place, 193.65 showing at No. 16 Denver on Jan. 9, winning vault outright with a 9.875 mark and finishing third on floor exercise (9.825) and balance beam (9.8).
“Kirah did exactly what I expected her to do at Denver,” Mountaineer coach Jason Butts said. “She’s so calm and collected during training, and that came through during the meet.
