Prospect Profile: Kajsa Borrman, Loveland 2022

Loveland’s Kajsa Borrman is already one of the most athletic students at her school and she’s just a sophomore. A three-sport athlete, Borrman starts for the girls basketball and volleyball teams, and is a standout on the track and field team. She currently leading the Indians’ volleyball team in blocks, averaged 10.9 points and 7.0 rebounds as a freshman last basketball season, and she broke a 40-year-old school record in the discus as a freshman on her way to winning Colorado’s Class 5A state title in the event. With her pedigree, maybe Borrman is destined for track and field at the next level. Maybe she will choose basketball, especially since she did play for the Swedish 15U national team this past summer. Whatever she ends up pursuing, Borrman’s athletic future is certainly bright and she has plenty of time to figure it all out. “She’s a really athletic kid,” Loveland girls basketball coach Chris Michael said. “She’s six-two and her top two sports that she’s interested in are track and basketball. Both parents were college athletes at CSU so she just comes from a really athletic family. Then you add basketball skills to that and she has a ton of potential. She’s not completely polished yet but she can be a beast in the post and she can shoot the ball pretty well.” Borrman’s mother is the only five-time All-American in Colorado State University track and field history. Her father broke 13 school records at CSU and is a four-time Swedish national champion in the discus. A tough and physical player, Michael said the 6-foot-2 Borrman has plenty of strength and athleticism to hold up against college-level competition. She is explosive and uses her body well while rebounding and drop-stepping, and she is also fast down the floor in transition. Borrman has, however, played with her back to the basket her entire life and is learning to face up and attack the basket, so her ball handling is still coming around. As a freshman in 2018-19, Borrman also averaged 1.6 steals and 1.4 blocked shots per game, and shot 39 percent from the field which was tops on her team.
