It’s go time for UT alums Kate Knifton and Daisy Mazzio-Manson
Kate Knifton had dreams of getting away from Austin when she began to think about where she would go to college. She wound up in her backyard at the University of Texas. Nonetheless, she was determined to delineate a clear separation between home and school. She resorted to extreme measures, like not taking her laundry home to wash.
What makes an already unique experience all the more special, Knifton will be on the same team as fellow alum Daisy Mazzio-Manson. The pair competed together at UT during the 2020-2021 season, when Mazzio-Manson came to UT for her final year of collegiate competition. “We had a lot of restrictions where we weren’t really even spending time with teammates outside of practice that weren’t our roommates....
Following in their parents’ footsteps, both women set out to make the Olympic team, which culminated in a selection camp this spring. Knifton had spent so much time preparing for disappointment that when she learned that she had made the team, she didn’t quite know how to react. “It’s definitely hitting me more now that we’re actually leaving, but it kind of doesn’t feel real until you really go,” Knifton said.
