McKenna Brooks is the tenth Girl of the Year. She was released in 2012.
Personality and Facts[]
McKenna is a ten-year-old girl in fourth grade who lives on Queen Anne Hill in Seattle, Washington. McKenna is the oldest of three children, with younger twin sisters named Maisey and Mara Brooks, who are both five. Maisey and Mara both do gymnastics like McKenna does. Her dad is a high school principal and her mother owns a coffee shop.
McKenna is described as strong-willed, ambitious and determined. She wants to become an Olympic gold medalist in gymnastics. She is skilled in gymnastics but struggles with her schoolwork, specifically reading comprehension.
McKenna has a dog named Cooper and a pet hamster named Polka Dot. She attends Greentree Elementary School, and her friends include Toulane Thomas and Sierra Kuchinko (both of whom are gymnasts), and Josie Myers (who is also her tutor).
In 2023, McKenna, now an adult, has moved to Minnesota for college and is studying for a degree in early education to become a teacher. She is also the gymnastics coach for Lila Monetti and her former baby sitter.
