Penn State University gymnast Briannah Tsang was named the women’s team newcomer of the year at the Nittany Lions’ end-of-season banquet held on April 25.
The freshman from Burnaby competed in the all-around in each of the team’s 12 meets this season, penning her name into the program’s record book on three occasions, while also claiming a school record with four Big Ten freshman of the week honours this season.
Tsang shared Big Ten freshman of the year honours, garnering 11 individual event wins and four all-around titles, including school record scores of 9.950 on the vault and balance beam.
Penn State finished in the top 25 for the 13th consecutive season in NCAA Division I, placing 22nd overall.
In the post season, Penn State posted its highest score in program history at the Big Ten championships, garnering 196.725 points in Ann Arbor, Michigan in March to erase an 11-year-old record.
