2026-27 Officer Team
Vice President Grace Herstad
Howdy! My name is Grace and I’m a junior kinesiology major from Austin Texas. I joined the triathlon team in the fall of my freshman year after starting triathlon at the end of my senior year of high school. Prior to that I have almost no sports experience, except summer league swim. Since joining the team, I have completed an Ironman 70.3 and a few half marathons. Other than triathlon, I love spending time with friends, drinking coffee and going for long bike trips!!

Daisy de Carlos
PRESIDENT
Howdy! My name is Daisy de Carlos, and I’m a senior environmental engineering major from Sweeny, TX. I did triathlons all through elementary & junior high school and picked it back up once I got to college. Since joining the team, I’ve raced numerous sprint and olympic tris and have also ran 3 marathons (including Boston this past April!). Outside of training, I love crafting, listening to music, and spending time outdoors.
Joining Aggie Tri was the best decision I made at Texas A&M as it has given me so many good friends and my best memories of college!! Feel free to reach out to me by email if you have any questions or want to join the team!

Daniel Dowran
FUNDRAISING
Howdy! My name is Daniel and I’m a microbiology major from Plano, Texas. I came to triathlon after playing soccer for many years and was looking for a new challenge and way to stay active. Since joining, I’ve really enjoyed the training, racing, and being part of such a supportive team. Outside of triathlons, I love spending time cooking, trying out new recipes, and hanging out with friends. I’m excited to help the team this year and keep us moving forward.

MaryKatherine Kloesel
VICE PRESIDENT
Howdy! My name is MK Kloesel, and I am a senior Sport Management major from The Woodlands, TX. I played basketball my whole life, up until my freshman year of college. When I transferred to A&M, I needed something to stay active and competitive, so I joined the triathlon team! I did summer league swim team growing up but didn’t have any experience with biking or running. I’ve loved biking and did my first MS150 in April 2025 but am still actively trying to become a runner. It’s been a blast being on the team, and I highly recommend you join even if you don’t have any prior experience like me. It may be intimidating at first, but it will be so worth it! Outside of triathlon, I am involved at my church, and I am a lifeguard at the Rec center. My long-term goal is to one day become an Ironman.
