From NBC Sports article:

Jason Brown, a YouTube sensation, the youngest U.S. Olympic men’s singles skater since 1976 and a Sochi bronze medalist, added another accolade to his résumé Sunday — U.S. champion.

Brown, 20, became the youngest man to win a national championship since Johnny Weir in 2004, holding off Adam Rippon by 2.5 points, the closest margin since Weir and Evan Lysacek had matching scores in 2008. Josh Farris took bronze, seven points back (full results here).

Brown, Rippon and Farris were later named as the three U.S. men to make up the World Championships roster.

“I’m so overwhelmed right now, so excited,” a tearful Brown said on NBC, shortly after his performance. “It’s been such a journey from four years ago [finishing ninth at age 16 in his senior nationals debut, also in Greensboro] to now.”

Brown totaled 274.98 points over two days of competition, with eight triple jumps in his free skate Sunday.

“I was performing to the audience and enjoying every single moment,” Brown said. “I couldn’t ask for anything else.”

Congratulations to both Jason and Kori from the Colorado Rampage for such a accomplishment and reward for all the years of hard work !!
