Larson was a two-time undefeated state champion for McCook High School as a junior and senior and concluded his high school career with a 134-7 all-time record.

As a freshman in 2007, Larson earned a runner-up finish at the state tournament, then earned another runner-up finish as a sophomore in 2008. In his junior season, Larson went 38-0 to capture his first state tournament title and help the Bison to a third-place team finish. As a senior in 2010, Larson went 37-0 to cap off his second straight undefeated season and state championship. Larson earned first-team all-state honors from coaches each year of his prep career, and was named the honorary captain after his junior and senior seasons. A versatile athlete, Larson also served as the starting point guard for McCook's basketball team and earned all-state honorable mention three years in a row. Larson also was a member of the National Honor Society.
Coach Saniuk says: "I am excited for Connor to be part of our Maverick team. His high school career showed a lot about his game and desire to be the best. I know Connor will increase his skill level and show to everyone that his best tennis is ahead of him. I look for Connor to jump into our lineup right away and help lead us into Division I tennis."
