Cochran is the youngest of four siblings of the "Skiing Cochrans" family of Richmond, Vermont, whose parents built and operated a ski hill in their back yard.[1][2][3] Named to the U.S. Ski Team in 1970, Cochran competed in the 1976 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck and finished sixth in the slalom[4] and 12th in the giant slalom.[5] She finished 14th in slalom at the World Championships in 1974 at St. Moritz, Switzerland. Cochran competed on the World Cup circuit in the mid-1970s, then attended the University of Vermont in Burlington and raced for the Catamounts. In 1979, the Supersisters trading card set was produced and distributed; one of the cards featured Cochran's name and picture.[6]
Cochran married Steve Kelley and all three of their children, Jessica [7] (b. 1982) Tim (b. 1986), and Robby (b. 1990), raced on the U.S. Ski Team.
