Penny McCoy (born October 9, 1949) is a former World Cup alpine ski racer from the United States.
At age 16, McCoy won the bronze medal in the women's slalom at the 1966 World Championships in Portillo, Chile.[3] [4] She had six top ten finishes in World Cup competition.
Shortly before the 1968 Winter Olympics, McCoy and Sandy Shellworth[2] [5] were left off the U.S. team by head coach Bob Beattie,[6] [7] displaced by new arrivals Kiki Cutter and Judy Nagel. Shellworth did get to compete, as an injury replacement in the downhill, but McCoy did not.[8]
