List of USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships winners
Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships is an annual outdoor competition in the sport of athletics organised by USA Track & Field, which serves as the national championship for the sport in the United States. The venue of the championships is decided on an annual basis and several events are hosted separately.
The earliest national champions were declared by the
United States Olympic Trials (track and field) in 1920, 1928, 1932, and from 1992 onwards. Olympic Trials were held separately in other years, and winners at the trial event were not declared national champions.[1][2][3]
The national championships for cross country and road running are held separately from the main track and field competition.
