Early life

A three-sport athlete, Klapperich was a three-time first-team All-Fox Valley Association shortstop in softball and a first-team All-FVA selection in volleyball as a junior (she didn't play volleyball as a senior).

Klapperich was the AP Wisconsin Player of the Year as a senior in 1994. She also was a first-team AP All-State as a junior and was on the second and third teams, respectively, as a sophomore and freshman. She gained first-team All-FVA honors four times, and as a senior Klapperich led the FVA in scoring, assists and steals and was second in rebounds - a category she had led the previous three seasons.
