Kristie Davis (née Karen Stenglein, later Kristie Marano, born January 24, 1979) is a wrestler from Albany, New York.

Davis won nine medals at the women's World Championships in freestyle wrestling, two of which were gold. In 2004, Davis (who was competing as Kristie Marano at the time) received the James M. Cooke Memorial Award as the New York Athletic Club's (NYAC) Athlete of the Year.[1] She was the third woman to receive this award.

In 2002, she was awarded Women's Wrestler of the Year by USA Wrestling.[citation needed]

Kristie married Link Davis, the head coach of the Emmanuel College wrestling team, and went by Kristie Davis in 2016. She is an alumna of Colonie Central High School and Hudson Valley Community College and Pikes Peak Community College. She has a daughter named Kayla from her first marriage.[2]

Davis came out of retirement in 2016, in an unsuccessful attempt to make the U.S. Olympic team in the 75 kg class.
