And won all of them? I realize that this would probably never happen at the world championship or Olympic level but has it ever happened on something like a national level or collegiate conference level? |

My girlfriend did the 10k (day 1), Steeple, 1500, 5k (all day 2) and won them all in our D3 conference. I doubt you're going to find too many people doing both the 800 and 5k though, especially as the level of competition goes up. A lot more specialization going on there. |

Korene Hinds used to do some serious damage at Big 12s for KState. Including 4x4 and DMR relay duty, she had great range from xc all american to 2:06 ish 800. but I can't recall any specifics. now she's a top 30 world steepler |

What were her times? I thought it was really impressive last year that Sally Kip won the 5k and then took 2nd I believe in the 1500 with something like 4:06.. under the Olympic A standard I believe. |

These are all staggering feats of dominant running but none of them are the 800/1500/5000 triple. Anyone? |

Possibly Morcelli when he was at Riverside CC. Not sure. |

A runner named David Juiliano attempted to do one better at the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (D-III) track and field championships in 2002. He won the 800m, the 1500m, and the 3000m steeplechase but was defeated by his teammate Will Berriel in the 5000m run. I may be wrong but I have heard that this was the first time he had lost to Will in that event. I only learned of this yesterday, coincidentally. Good thing I read these forums too much for my own good. |

I am a former D-3 runner myself, so I can speak from experience. While there are still some great athletes at the D-3 level, it tends to take the edge off this accomplishment when you stop to realize that none of those young men were receiving any type of athletic scholarship. Instead, the SCIAC is a conference full of 800-pound brains: Cal-Tech, Whittier, etc. Sieg Lindstrom of T&FN fame competed in that conference. |

Tommy Fulton, Texas Southern won the 1973 NAIA mile (3:57,8) and 3-mile (13:33,3). He placed in other events, possibly the 880, which was won by '72 Olympic medalist Mike Boit, and/or possibly the 6-mile, won in 28:42,2. |

Paul McMullen won all three at the 1995 MAC Championships, including a 1:46 in the prelims. EMU lost the meet to Western Michigan by 1/2 point. Western's coach, Jack Shaw, passed away this week. |

37:25, 11:?, 4:41, 18:12. Like I said, it's just a D3 conference so no record shattering times, but for a 50 mpw runner who'd never run the 10k before it was pretty impressive. |

Although we now know she was doped to the gills, I'm surprised nobody mentioned Regina Jacobs. At the 2001 USA nationals she almost pulled off that triple. She defeated Suzy Hamilton in 15. Then won the 8. Then she finished a close 2nd to Marla runyan in the 5000m. She didn't win all 3, it was a memorable performance as I witnessed it live in Eugene. |

I personally like the Lincoln Triple at the SEC in 2003 (although he finished 2nd to cragg in the 5k/10k). 832sc/1402/2916 Cragg won the 5k and 10k that year in 1341 and 2842. I think Lincoln intentionally backed off a bit because he was doing all three. David Kimani 803/1342 or 752/1352 in his two indoors ncaa wins, and anchored the DMR in 351 in one of those years i believe. |

In the mid 70s, I once tripled at an open indoor meet in the mile, half and 3 mile, 4:14.5, 1:57.5 and 14:44. My PRs are 4:10.8, 1:54.1 and 14:30, so it wasn't too bad of a day. |

You believe wrong. He did not run the DMR at the indoor meet. The ~3:52 relay leg was outdoors.

At '05 Big Ten Indoors Lindsey Gallo did the mile, 3k, and 5k triple. |

The 800 and 1500 are often pretty close together. I think that's partially why people choose to double in different events. |
