History of US Juniors at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships

The IAAF World Cross Country Championships were first held in 1973 in Waregem, Belgium. The US only sent a Senior Women’s team to the event, which was widely reported as the 60th Cross de Nations rather than the first World Championships. The Junior men’s race was included from the first edition of the championships, but the Jr women’s race did not start until 1989.
