Denney and Barrett are the 2010 U.S. champions, 2009 U.S. silver medalists and 2011 U.S. bronze medalists ... Finished 13th at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games ... Withdrew from the 2011 Four Continents Championships after Barrett injured his leg in a training accident ... Switched coaches in August 2010, going from Jim Peterson, Lyndon Johnston and Alison Smith in Ellenton, Fla., to John Zimmerman and Silvia Fontana in Coral Springs, Fla. ... Made a commercial for the United Way, which can be viewed here.

Denney began skating at age 9 after watching Tara Lipinski win the Olympic gold medal ... Switched from roller skating to ice skating ...

Younger sister, Haven, skated pairs with Daniel Raad, with whom she won the novice silver medal at the 2009 U.S. Championships ... Both parents were national and world champion roller skaters; father placed third in senior men's singles at the 1984 World Championships ... Attends Blueridge Academy in Wesley Chapel, Fla. ... Volunteers for Therapies 4 Kids and the United Way ... Supports the Ocala Royal Dames Cancer Research Society because her grandmother was also a Royal Dame who was committed to cancer research ... Biggest influences in her life are her parents ... If she could have dinner with any one person, it would be Mia Michaels because of her creative vision and her love of life ... Biggest life-defining moment was moving back to Florida to skate pairs with Barrett ... Not many people know she collects hats (she has about 100 of them) ... Wants to go to college and become a sports broadcaster or work in the dental field after her skating career ... Would want to be a dancer or a stunt cheerleader if she weren't a figure skater.
