Kole Klaassen of Remington has big goals heading into his senior season. The second team all-league running back is not only ready to take the field, but also help lead his team off the field as well.
“This season I am focused on enjoying my senior year and making a run at a district title,” Klaassen said. “On a personal level I’ve been setting my sights on a 2000 plus rushing season as well as being a strong leader for my teammates.”
While hoping to better the team throughout the season, Klaassen also set expectations for himself to achieve all summer.
“In preparation for the season I spent a lot of time in the weight room and I’ve attended several camps to gain Insight in training from college level coaches,” Klaassen said. “Something I’ve been fine-tuning is my lateral movement.”
With his final season right around the corner, Klaassen is thankful for every opportunity he’s been presented with.
“Narrowing down my favorite memories is tough, because every time I get to step on the field with my teammates to represent Remington is a blessing,” Klaassen said.
After high school Klaassen plans to continue his athletic and academic career at the next level.
“I plan to attend college as a student athlete and major in business or agriculture with the hope to return to our family farm,” Klaassen said.
