She competed for the Wisconsin Flight Elite program, where she helped lead them to the EYBL Final Four in 2023.

A Minnetonka, Minn., native, McKinney joins the ‘U’ after a prep career playing for North Tartan. On her AAU team, Mckinney averaged 11.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.1 steals. For the Skippers, McKinney played at the varsity level at Minnetonka since her seventh-grade year.
