Quinn Carpenter (born February 24, 1996) is an American ice dancer. With partner Lorraine McNamara, he is the 2016 World Junior champion, 2015 World Junior silver medalist, 2015 JGP Final Champion, and a two-time U.S. national junior champion.
Quinn Carpenter was born February 24, 1996 in Bethesda, Maryland. He was homeschooled before enrolling at Montgomery College in Rockville, Maryland, where he is studying mechanical engineering.
Carpenter's parents introduced him to ice skating when he was two or three years old. He joined Alexei Kiliakov and Elena Novak at the Wheaton Ice Dance Academy at age six. Carpenter skated one season with his first partner.
Carpenter began skating with Lorraine McNamara in 2005. They won the junior bronze medal at the 2012 U.S. Championships but McNamara was too young to be sent to the 2012 World Junior Championships.
In 2012–13, McNamara/Carpenter became age-eligible for junior internationals. In August 2012, they finished sixth in their Junior Grand Prix (JGP) debut, in Courchevel, France. They placed fourth the following month at their second JGP assignment, in Istanbul, Turkey. After winning the junior bronze medal at the U.S. Championships, McNamara/Carpenter were assigned to the World Junior Championships in Milan. They placed 8th in the short dance, 11th in the free dance, and 9th overall in Italy.
