I was inspired by the women's post, so let's look back at the men!
1976 — Terry Kubicka
1977 — Charles Tickner
1978 — Charles Tickner (W)
1979 — Charles Tickner
1980 — Charles Tickner (OM) (WCM)
1981 — Scott Hamilton (W)
1982 — Scott Hamilton (W)
1983 — Scott Hamilton (W)/B]
1984 — Scott Hamilton (O) (W)
1985 — Brian Boitano (WCM)
1986 — Brian Boitano (W)
1987 — Brian Boitano (WCM)
1988 — Brian Boitano (O) (W)
1989 — Christopher Bowman (WCM)
1990 — Todd Eldredge
1991 — Todd Eldredge (WCM)
1992 — Christopher Bowman
1993 — Scott Davis
1994 — Scott Davis
1995 — Todd Eldredge (WCM)
1996 — Rudy Galindo (WCM)
1997 — Todd Eldredge (WCM)
1998 — Todd Eldredge (WCM)
1999 — Michael Weiss (WCM)
2000 — Michael Weiss (WCM)
2001 — Timothy Goebel
2002 — Todd Eldredge
2003 — Michael Weiss
2004 — Johnny Weir
2005 — Johnny Weir
2006 — Johnny Weir
2007 — Evan Lysacek (4CC)
2008 — Evan Lysacek (4CCM)
2009 — Jeremy Abbott
2010 — Jeremy Abbott
All these are U.S. Nationals performances. I've also added a bold (O) or (W) or (FC) if they went on to win Worlds, the Olympics or the Worlds. I also added an (OM) or (WM) or (FCM) if they medaled.
Speaking of which, a U.S. Champion hasn't moved on to win Worlds or the Olympics since 1998 when Brian Boitano won the triple crown. Evan Lysacek did win 4CC in 2007 after winning Nationals.
Also should note U.S. medalists (1st -4th) that went on to went to win or medal in the Olympics, Worlds or 4CC.
1990 — Christopher Bowman (2nd) (WM)
1981 — David Santee (2nd) (WM)
1992 — Paul Wylie (3rd) (OM)
1996 — Todd Eldredge (2nd) (W)
2001 — Todd Eldredge (2nd) (WM)
2001 — Michael Weiss (4th) (4CCM)
2002 — Timothy Goebel (2nd) (OM) (WM)
2003 — TImothy Goebel (2nd) (WM)
2005 — Evan Lysacek (3rd) (4CC) (WM)
2006 — Evan Lysacek (2nd) (WM)
2006 — Matthew Savioe (3rd) (4CCM)
2008 — Johnny Weir (2nd) (WM)
2009 — Evan Lysacek (3rd) (W)
2010 — Evan Lysacek (2nd) (O)
Evan Lysacek went on to win 2009 Worlds and 2010 Olympics despite placing 3rd and 2nd respectively at the Nationals and several others medaled after winning U.S. Titles. Things that make you go hmmm...
For some reason there seem a vacuum of videos from the late 1990s and early 2000s. If you find those links, let me know, I'll add it. I'll also add more from before 1975 as I find them. Figured this was plenty!
Some great skating here!
ETA to note champions who won medals in the Worlds or the Olympics and linked those programs when available. I also noted U.S. medal winners who also medaled at the Worlds, Olympics or 4CC. Haven't linked those programs. Might do that later!
