Personal life

Knutson empezó a nadar a los 9 años. Sus padres, Jim y Ronda, fueron atletas universitarios. Le pusieron un nombre noruego . Su padre era ciudadano estadounidense y sus padres habían emigrado a Estados Unidos desde Noruega, y su nombre honra esa herencia.

La ciudad natal de Knutson es Minot, Dakota del Norte , pero se ha entrenado en la Universidad de Florida después de entrenar brevemente con la Universidad de Auburn y luego con FAST en Fullerton, California . [ 13 ] Debido a la proximidad geográfica, Knutson solía nadar en tantas competencias en Canadá que una vez fue nombrada erróneamente como una de las mejores nadadoras de 12 años de ese país.
