Kerrie Meares (born 4 September 1982 in Blackwater) is an Australian professional racing cyclist. She is the older sister of Olympic Champion Anna Meares.
In 2002 and after winning 2 x Commonwealth Games Gold Medals in Manchester, Meares was awarded the Queensland Sportswoman of the Year. Later that year, she was awarded the Peter Lacey award, an award bestowed on Queensland Academy of Sport athletes who have achieved great international success as well as being an ambassador for their sport.[1] Meares went on to win further medals at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in both the 500m Time Trial and Match Sprint in Melbourne, but retired before a third consecutive games in Delhi, India.[2]
As a Junior athlete, Meares was extremely successful breaking numerous State and National records in Sprint discipline events. She was a contender for the 2004 Olympic team, but pulled out from competition due to nagging back injuries, suffered during numerous crashes that occurred during competitions earlier that year.[3]
Meares retired from professional track cycling in 2007 and married former compatriot and sportswoman Emily Rosemond.[4] Post retirement from cycling, Kerrie and her wife Emily started the Track Cycling Academy based in Brisbane and online.[5]
