McKenzie made the announcement on his blog saying, “I am really excited to announce I am now officially working with Siri Lindley as my coach. I have mostly been self coached since 2003 with advice from several knowledgeable people here and there but nothing I would consider ‘coaching’. I’ve been competing in the sport for over 15 years now and I feel it’s the right time to join Siri and her amazing stable of athletes to get even more out of myself.”
