Minnesota Class A Boys Pre-Season Individual Watch List

Geno Uhrbom, Greenway/Nashwauk-Keewatin,  Jr.

Starting as an All-State 7th-grade phenom, Geno Uhrbom has consistently improved each year and last season became Minnesota's first sophomore boy to complete the distance triple, winning State in XC, 3200m, and the 1600m. Hailing from northern Minnesota, Uhrbom has nearly perfected the art of frontrunning, and has lost only two in-season XC races in the past two years, taking third at the 2017 State Championships and falling to Hopkins' Eli Hoeft in an early season race last year. His goals for 2019 should be even bigger though; after taking home the State championship last year, he proceeded to finish 17th at the Nike Heartland Regional in Sioux Falls, and is the fifth-highest returner to the race in which the top five individuals earn Nike Cross Nationals bids.
