Rupp's performance today was amazing. He lacked closing speed until this year and now he is blowing away the NCAA favorite in the mile. So the question is who else has won the 3k, 5k, and DMR in the same meet? |

Lagat won the mile/3k indoors in 1999, and I can't remember where their DMR finished. Not quite the triple you're looking for, but maybe the closest thing to it. |

I'm very confident that it's never been done before. Nyambui won the mile and 2 mile in 1979 and 1980, Lagat won the mile and 3000m in 1999, but WSU didn't run the DMR and Kimani won the 3000m and 5000m in 2001, but Stanford won the DMR that year. So if it wasn't one of those three guys (and I'm confident Rono didn't do it; I can't even be sure when the current schedule of events became standard), then it hasn't been done before. Probably the same for the women. |

What do you mean who else has done it? Galen has not done it yet. |

http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=2924679 how but a team taking every distance event before? the mile is fairly slim chance, but there is no certain winner with Rupp and German not in it and Ulrey a little sluggish and already two races under him. If centro can pull it off, and Rupp grabs his 3rd and Wheating his 2nd....damn. |

Texas would have won if they had not gotten screwed and placed in that pathetic heat. |

doubtful rube, highly doubtful. wheating had more if he needed it and rupp just sat and kicked. nobody was outkicking him off any pace. |
| Does Not Matter |
| ||
|
Yes, and Texas ran the ENTIRE race by themselves save the first four laps. Wheating did not have that much left, he was flying, and hurting, he might have had one more second in him. Texas would have and should have won. |

In 2002 Kimani attempted the mile DMR 3k triple. That would be rough racing 4 times. |
| shit |

|
kimani ran 4:02.18 in the mile trials and got 2nd in the mile final in 4:00.33, lost by .27 sec. 4th in the 3k in 8:02, lost by .83 sec. 3rd in the DMR 9:32.97 lost by 1.97 sec. |

Anyone know why Barringer didn't run the 5000? |

yeah back in the day.... The 2000 track & field season was a breakout one for Gabe Jennings. He ran the lead-off 1200 m leg of Stanford's Distance Medley Relay that won the NCAA Indoor championship and set a new indoor World Record with a time of 9:28.83. The next day, he also won the mile (3:59.46) while his teammate Michael Stember finished second. Jennings came back a few hours later to place seventh in the 3000 m (8:04.96) to earn his third All-American plaque of the meet |

No. Texas SHOULD have run a faster entry time to deserve getting into the fast heat. If Texas WOULD have done that then it wouldnt need be argued over. Its too bad they DIDNT because now they DIDNT win. |

Texas did not have the horses to compete, unless you could have run Hernandez at both the 1200 and 1600m legs... |

Oregon-2008-09 Triple Crown You read it here first. |
| bill davis |
| ||

Rupp is currently well above the other runners in the NCAA with German not running. I mean how many NCAA athletes ran in the olympics last year. And came top 12 this is a world level athlete racing national level athletes. |

What teams have pulled off the XC, Indoor, Outdoor triple crown? |
| jama |

|
Arkansas has done it at least 2 times |

Have they? That's cross, indoor AND outdoor in the same year. Not saying that haven't but I just wanted to confirm. Was this when their top man was tanzanian Godfrey? I remember him and Canadian Jason Bunston as a powerful 1-2 punch in 1996. What's really scary is how many individual championships Oregon can rack up this year to go along with the potential triple crown, and most importantly to me is how many of those come from distance. Granted most of these are from Rupp and the DMR team, but Wheating still has outdoors to get revenge. I still think it's impressive that you have a guy coming into the meet partially lame, and you still have a sense of dissapointment when he picks up a second place!!! |
