Early life
From Ridgefield, Washington, he is from a family of throwers, with his grandfather, John Gambill, a volunteer coach for his local high school team.[2] He attended Ridgefield High School (Washington). Knight set a national high school record in the hammer throw in 2020 and was named Washington State Athlete of the Year for boys track and field in three consecutive years.[3]
Career
Competing for California State University, Northridge, Knight named the NCAA Division I West Region indoor field athlete of the year in 2025.[4]
He was fouled out at the NCAA West Outdoor regionals in 2025 and so did not qualify for the 2025 NCAA Outdoor Championships. However, he did go on to throw a personal best 78.15 metres at the Portland Track Festival in June 2025.[5]
He placed second with a new personal best of 78.76 metres at the 2025 USA Track and Field Championships.[6][7] In September 2025, he competed in the hammer throw at the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo, Japan, qualifying for the final and placing tenth overall.[8][9]
