Linfield University Athletics

Kaylee Manuel joined the Linfield women's basketball coaching staff in the Fall of 2026.

Manuel is a native of Nanakuli, Hawaii, and comes to Linfield after spending two seasons on the coaching staff at Pacific University. Over the past two seasons, the Boxers tallied 22 total wins, 12 of which in Northwest Conference play. She is a 2023 graduate from Pacific with her degree in Early Childhood Education with a minor in Psychology: Health and Well-Being. 

She spent five seasons as a member of the Boxers women's basketball team, appearing in the postseason four times. Manuel led the Boxers to 77 wins in her five seasons, and led the Northwest Conference in field goal percentage (68.5%) in 2022.

"What drew me to Linfield was the team and staff, who embody what I value most in coaching: developing good and industrious people both on and off the court. The team and staff have been nothing but welcoming, and it is clear in their everyday lives that success starts off the court. I am excited to be a part of this team and help cultivate and continue to build the culture at Linfield!" said Manuel.
