'''Robert Earle''' "'''Earl'''" '''Johnson''' (March 10, 1891 in [[Woodstock, Virginia]] &ndash; November 19, 1965) was an American athlete who competed mainly in the cross country team. He was the 1921 [[USA Cross Country Championships|National Champion]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.olympedia.org/athletes/78618 |title=Earl Johnson |work=Olympedia |access-date=13 July 2021}}</ref> 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]].<ref>{{Cite news |title=Ritola makes new record for course |work=[[The New York Times]] |url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1922/11/26/107083941.pdf |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200103144444/https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1922/11/26/107083941.pdf |archive-date=3 Jan 2020}}</ref><br />
