Trenni Casey (née Kusnierek; born April 30, 1977[citation needed]) is an American sports anchor and reporter for NBC Sports Boston.[1]
Early life
[edit]Casey is a graduate of Muskego High School and a 1999 journalism graduate of Marquette University.[2]
She appeared as herself on the TV show Change of Heart around 1999.[3]
Career
[edit]Casey has previously worked at WDJT-TV (2001-2002), FSN Pittsburgh (2003-2007), ABC Sports (2005), and FSN Wisconsin (2008), and as a reporter and former studio host for the MLB Network. She has also done some work for the Big Ten Network and the NFL Network.[citation needed] For one season, she worked with Kevin Harlan and Rich Gannon as a sideline reporter for Green Bay Packers preseason.[citation needed]
From 2011 to 2013, Casey worked for WTMJ (AM) and ESPN 540 in Milwaukee as a sports reporter and talk show host.[4][1]
Casey was hired by NBC Sports to work as a curling reporter during the 2014 and 2018 Winter Olympics,[5][6] and she also covered tennis for NBC Sports at the 2016[7] and 2020 Summer Olympics.[8]
Casey has also worked at WEEI-FM in Boston as a weekend and substitute program host.[1]
Casey falsely accused a group of West Point cadets of flashing a "white power" symbol during the Army-Navy game in 2019, and she demanded their immediate expulsion. Casey refused to apologize after a subsequent investigation quickly exonerated the cadets, who were in fact playing the well-known "circle game".[9][10][11][12]
