Nebraska women’s gymnastics senior Kinsey Davis was named an AAI Award nominee, as the American Athletic Inc. announced the list on Monday. 

This prestigious award is presented to the most outstanding senior collegiate female gymnast in the country and is voted on by NCAA women’s gymnastics head coaches.

Just this season, she has scored a 9.975 on bars twice and earned two Big Ten Co-Specialist of the Week awards. She is the first Husker to receive a weekly award since 2020, and her bars average of 9.882 is currently ranked fourth in the Big Ten. 

Outside of gymnastics, Davis is a three-time WCGA Scholastic All-American, two-time Big Ten Distinguished Scholar, two-time Academic All-Big Ten and has been on the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll every semester since she has been enrolled at NU. She has earned Nebraska’s gold academic medallion twice, which requires a GPA of 3.75 or higher, and has been a member of the Tom Osborne Citizenship team every year of her tenure, showcasing her passion for serving her community.
