Club career
Wofford has competed at four U.S. National Championships (2008–10, and 2012) but has qualified for six (also 2007 and 2011) but had to scratch from those due to injury. She was a U.S. National Team member in 2010 and 2011 as a junior and senior. In 2011, she was also named as an alternate to the U.S. team travelling to the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara.[2]
McKenzie ended her elite career during the 2012 elite season and competed at both U.S. Classic and U.S. Championships. She did not advance to the Olympic Trials which ended opportunities to make the Olympic team.
Wofford's final competitive year was in 2013, when she moved down to Level 10. She won bars at every invitational she competed in during the season and eventually, placed fourth all-around at J.O. Nationals as well as becoming J.O. National Bars Champion.
