Makenzie is a 17-year-old Blue Blet training out of Gracie Barra Mount Lawley in Western Australia. 

She has already had amazing success in competition picking up multiple gold medals locally, interstate and abroad. I chat to Kenzie about her training schedule preparing for Worlds in Abu Dabi- and how that fits into the busy life of a teenager. 

We also have to contend with some dogs barking at one point - but I edited most of that out :)
