Coeur d’Alene High School Athlete of the Month: Devin Kluss

Devin Kluss, a senior at Coeur d'Alene High School, has played four years of varsity baseball and basketball, all while maintaining a 3.87 accumulative GPA.

Kluss plans to attend Whitworth University and possibly go through pre-athletic training, pre-law, or business management. He plans to play baseball as well as try out for the basketball team.

Kluss cites his own knees as his largest obstacle in the path to athletic accomplishment.

Kluss cherishes the experiences that competing in sports have brought him. “No matter what happens when I'm older, I know I will remember the moments I spent with my teams on the court or on the field competing as one.” says Kluss.

He says his coaches have taught him the important value of hard work. “My head basketball coach, Kurt Lunblad, and my head baseball coach, Nick Rook, have shown me that sports and life are about working hard to reach goals set by either you or your boss.”

Mr. Karns, Kluss’s chemistry teacher from his junior year, is his favorite teacher. Kluss says, “His (Karns’) teaching style was unorthodox at times, but I will never forget how he made me feel as if I could accomplish anything.”
