The tournament, which ran from June 27 to July 3 in Ñuñoa, Chile, featured a six-day schedule structured as individual “stops.” The USA squad dominated the Americas North division, accumulating the necessary points to secure the conference’s qualifying berth.

With the tournament victory, McKinney and her USA teammates will travel to Wuhan, China to compete in the 2026 FIBA 3×3 U23 World Cup, scheduled for Sept. 15-19.

The 3×3 discipline is played on a half-court with a 12-second shot clock. Games are a sprint to 21 points or concluded after 10 minutes, demanding peak conditioning and rapid execution.

McKinney is coming off her sophomore season, where she helped lead the Golden Gophers to their first Sweet Sixteen appearance in more than two decades. The Minnetonka, Minn., native was a Second (coaches) and Third (media) All-Big Ten selection and earned All-Big Ten Defensive Team honors. She set Minnesota’s single-season assist/turnover ratio record at 2.20. She was a spark on the Maroon and Gold’s offense, averaging a team-high 12.7 points per game, up from 10.6 her freshman year. In Minnesota’s last 11 regular-season games, the guard averaged 15.9 points per game, tallied 33 assists and led the team with 24 steals during that stretch.
