McKenna McKee

McKenna McKee (born October 25, 2003) is an American female sprint track cyclist, who is an eighteen-time USA Cycling national champion, a Pan American Track Championships gold medalist, a two-time national record holder,

From September, 2024 through December, 2025, McKenna raced with Tesseract Racing Team (a UCI licensed, Cycling Canada trade team). Beginning Jan 1, 2026, she transferred to the US-based, UCI Star Track Cycling team.

In early 2025, McKenna was selected by the USA Cycling Track Team to represent the USA at the Pan American Track Cycling Championships, in Asuncion, Paraguay, April 2-6. She won the Gold as a member of the Elite Women Team sprint.

Now in her fourth consecutive year training as part of the national team, McKenna is pursuing her goal to qualify for the USA Olympic Cycling Team in 2028, in Los Angeles, CA.

In spite of the medical and psychological challenges facing athletes with type1 diabetes, McKenna was determined to continue her cycling, and entered her first cyclo-cross bike race at age 7 in 2011. She soon thereafter discovered the now defunct Alpenrose Velodrome, in Portland. Over the next 12 years, McKenna competed in many racing disciplines, including cyclocross, and some collegiate criteriums. At age 15, McKenna was selected to attend the Team Novo Nordisk talent ID camp, where she spent 5 days doing road training. In 2020, she officially joined the Novo Nordisk racing team composed of T1D athletes. Finally settling on track racing at national and world-class levels, she has been racing track ever since.

In addition to her time training and racing, and advocating for T1D children and their families, McKenna is pursuing her education and her future career goal of becoming a pediatric nurse. She is currently enrolled in nursing studies at Lower Columbia College.
