In 2008, Geb once did two half marathons on the same day: 62:03 and 61:56.
Pretty impressive. Especially when you consider he ran them back-to-back, without a second's rest in between.

I have heard, but am not sure, that Anthuan Maybank went 27'1" in the LJ and 44.99 in the same day. While not at Owens' level, it's pretty damned amazing, if true.
Love quoting myself. Actually, this was a one-meet, but two day double at the Drake relays. Just found it on an ancient USATF bio.
And the WR long jump that Owens set 10 minutes after equaling the 100 yard WR lasted 25 years.
