A political refugee who moved from Cuba to the United States when he was a teenager, Huerta was the surprise top American at the Dextro Energy World Championship Series race in Kitzbühel, Austria, in June, when he placed 24th. He finished 13th at the 2010 Hamburg ITU World Championship Series race in what was only his second WCS start. Look for Huerta to be a dark horse in this qualification process. Photo: Triathlon.org
