Katie Uhlaender (born July 17, 1984) is an American skeleton racer who has competed since 2003. She won four medals at the FIBT World Championships with one silver (women's skeleton: 2008) and three bronzes (women's skeleton: 2007, mixed bobsleigh-skeleton team event: 2008, 2009).
Uhlaender won the women's Skeleton World Cup title twice (2006-7, 2007-8). She also finished sixth in the women's skeleton event at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino. She earned a medical waiver to compete in the 2009-10 Skeleton World Cup season following surgery in the wake of an April 2009 snowmobile accident where Uhelander shattered her kneecap, and broke it again in August 2009 (having a total of four surgeries).
A native of Vail, Colorado, Uhlaender now lives in nearby Breckenridge. She is the daughter of the late Major League Baseball outfielder (and former Cleveland Indians coach) Ted Uhlaender. In memory of her father, she wears around her neck his ring of the 1972 Cincinnati Reds season in which the Reds won the National League pennant.
It was announced on January 16, 2010 that Uhleander qualified for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver where she finished 11th.
She is now also training for the 2012 Olympics London, in the sport of Olympic Weight Lifting.
