Obscure USAU Championship record

A teammate of mine at the upcoming Grandmaster's championships is playing in his first USAU championship since he was at college nationals in 1992. I have to imagine that 26 years is the longest gap between championship appearances in USAU history.

I don't think this one quite belongs on Joe Seidler's website, but I thought it might be of some interest to some of you. If anyone else has any similarly obscure USAU trivia, I'm happy to hear it. (One question that occurred to me was, who has qualified for the championship out of the most different geographic regions?)
