This is something I've definitely never heard before. I started following the sport in the late '70s. I remember Greg Meyer won the 1979 Canadian Cross-Country championships, in Halifax, running for the Greater Boston TC (I was competing as a juvenile). And I remember in the early 80s Americans coming to Victoria, BC, to run in our national cross-country / world champs selection meet. But I don't recall ever hearing of a non-US citizen winning the AAU champs.
Can you give some examples?
James Munyala won the AAU steeplechase in 1977. I'm trying to recall who was the first US finisher in that race...
