South Dakota Mines

McKenzie (Windsor, Colorado) is the first of three players to join the Hardrocker Family from Arsenal Colorado, a Fort Collins Soccer Club. McKenzie attended Windsor High School which already has two alums on the SD Mines Men’s Soccer roster, one of whom is Sterling’s older brother Noah McKenzie. Sterling scored 9 goals and had 11 assists as he helped his team win the Colorado State Cup in 2016. He tore his ACL and has just began to train again recently. Sterling is the son of Jonathan and Barbara McKenzie and he plans to major in Mechanical Engineering.
 
“I am proud to be a Hardrocker because of what the school stands for and the high standards it holds for its student athletes. I am proud to say that I will be able to play with my brother Noah again. I am extremely excited for what the next four years hold for my future and all of the fantastic opportunities that I know SD Mines will provide me with.”
