2013 (Sophomore)
Louis Klein’s debut season in collegiate
gymnastics took the competition by surprise.
Descibed as the Huskers’ “secret weapon” coming
into 2013, the sophomore made big impacts on
five events throughout the season.
Maintaining fairly consistant scores throughout
the season, Klein finished off his premier regular
season with a record-breaking performance on
floor. He earned a 15.60, breaking the school
record set by teammate Grant Perdue in 2012.
The Utica, Mich., native’s success continued in
the postseason, being one of only three Huskers
to make the individual finals at the Big Ten
Championships.
Klein earned a silver medal on high bar and
earn second-team All-Big Ten honors.
2012 (Redshirt Freshman)
Klein did not compete in his second year with
the Huskers. The redshirt freshman spent his
time training and improving his skills for the 2013
season.
2011 (Medical Redshirt)
Klein redshirted in his first season at Nebraska
in 2011, after suffering a knee injury during fall
practice before the season began.
Before Nebraska
Klein transferred to Nebraska from Oakland
Community College in Waterford, Mich. Prior to
spending a year at the junior college level, Klein
attended Rochester High School in Rochester,
Mich. He was coached by Shawn Clement.
