SUGARLOAF, ME (March 25, 2015)— This was McKennis’ first U.S. Alpine Champs title—a title she really wanted after a tough season on the World Cup circuit. She had a few shining moments, including a solid 13th place finish in the Garmisch downhill one year after she broke her leg there, but couldn’t crack the top 10 this season in a World Cup. But she’s determined to continue and show the strong speed talent that she has displayed in the past.
