Richard Earle "Earl" Johnson (March 10, 1891 in Woodstock, Virginia November 19, 1965) was an American athlete who competed mainly in the cross country team. He was the 1921 National Champion.[1] He effectively defended his championship in 1922 as he was beaten by Ville Ritola's Van Cortlandt Park course record, but since Ritola was Finnish, Johnson was the first American finisher in the National Championships. A rare black athlete of his day, he worked for the Edgar Thomson Steel Works in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.[2]
