A four-time All-OVC selection, including twice on the first-team, McKenney teamed with fellow inductee Dr. Alex (Gjevre) Nail to lead a resurgence in the program during her years 2008-11. Manning third base for the Eagles all four seasons, McKenney earned First-Team All-OVC in 2009 and 2011 and was a main catalyst in the Eagles winning 115 games during those four campaigns, the most wins of any four-year class.

McKenney's legacy has stood the test of time in the last 10 years. She still holds the program career records for games played (211), runs scored (117), hits (218), doubles (46), extra-base hits (77), total bases (356). She also owns the single-season total bases record (113) in 2011. 

Her career culminated in 2011 when she batted .389 with a .646 slugging percentage and 10 home runs. She wrapped up her four seasons second in career homers at MSU with 30. She led the team in hits three seasons and RBI twice.

As a true freshman in 2008, McKenney led the team with 14 doubles and hit .318 with a team-high 32 RBI. In 2009, she led the team with a .333 batting average and seven home runs while also adding 10 doubles and a team high 35 RBIs. A year later, she batted .306 with seven home runs and seven doubles and led the team with 76 total bases. 

From Pendleton, Ind., McKenney came to MSU after being a two-time all-state performer in high school.

McKenney graduated from Morehead State with her Bachelor's Degree in chemistry and minor in integrated science. She currently resides in her hometown and is a project manager for Eli Lilly and Company. Her and her husband Jason have two children, Wade and Caroline.
