PREVIEW: 10 Class A Boys Who Could Dominate This Fall

Declan Dahlberg (Senior, Mounds Park Academy)



Declan Dahlberg is last year's State Champ, and he's back again to defend his title. He's one of 3 individual champions returning from last year. As a junior, Dahlberg maintained the top spot in the coach's ranking for the majority of last season, and backed it up at State with a devastating final kick to squeak out the win by the narrowest of margins. With such finishing speed, it'll be extremely tough to beat Dahlberg this fall. In the spring, the talented nordic skier further demonstrated his fitness when he set a huge PR of 9:23.77 in the 3200m. Dahlberg was undefeated among Class A competition throughout the Minnesota XC season, a streak which he'll look to continue all the way to the top of the podium in November.
