That's a very good and diverse quadruple. Did you compete in the decathlon?
No, but I should have.
You would be suprised how many good high-jumpers would make great 800 guys. They have similar body types and are very explosive.
That makes sense, because Sharon Day is a great high jumper and ran 2:13 for 800 in the heptathlon last year.

Malmo did Giles run in College?
He went to Pitt. Apparently he had asthma(real asthma, not the shit that everyone has these days) and was discouraged.
It is hard to judge \\\"the best\\\" when it is so hard to compare 400s and 3200s, etc.
I know that Ritz ran a hell of a lot of triples and quads, mostly during junior year as he ran fewer indoor meets as a senior. He ran an 8:48 3200 against a 3200mR field and won it, during a week he had run 85 mpw. He was training for the WJCCC and did the trials shortly after that, and then the Worlds. After that he focused on Penn Realys 5k, some big invites where they tried to break 4xMile type records and then States (went for an 8:34) and finally the USATF 5k. He was chasing the HS 5k record all Spring, even though he didn\\\'t do that many and it limited what he could do at other meets.
anyway, it was common for him to do
~1:55-58, 4:09-15, 9:12-25 in dual meets and indoor meets.
As a junior he ran 1:54.9/4:05.9 in his Conference meet, same day. I believe he won the 3200 too in close to 9:05.
I thought Daniel Gitau's quadruple at the Kanto Regionals (univ) last spring was pretty good:
1500m: 3:44.18
10000m: 28:39.94
800m: 1:48.06 (meet record)
5000m: 13:47.19
There were heats in the 1500 and 800 mixed in there too.
400 - 65
800 -2:01
1600 - 5:01
3200 - 11:16
I did this when I was like seven. Does that qualify?

Bobby Curtis won 4 events @ KY AAA State Meet his senior year in 2002. He tripled the year before and could have gone for the quadruple if he had run the 3200 where he was most dominant. I digress... his senior year.

1600- 4:18.56
800- 1:54.93

I don't have time to look up the times she ran but Susan Nash won the Ohio State XC meet in the fall(1982)and followed that up by winning the following at the state track meet in (1983).
100M !!!
400M
800M
4X400M
Since you brought up Ohio, Bridget Franek is the only Ohio HS athlete to win the 4 distance events. In 2006 she was a member of the winning 4 X 800 on Friday (9:16). Saturday she won 1600 (4:56), 800 (2:11), & 3200 (10:43). It was hot and humid on Saturday.

that day was awesome, i believe her teammate was second in 2 of those events. they basically won the track meet with 2 distance runners, not often done. although ryan wilson's performance a few years earlier scoring 40 points to win the state meet for westerville north's "team" was pretty amazing too. don't know the times/distances of that one.

800: 1:56 (3rd)
Wow - that's pretty close to my scenario, although it looks like your teammate had a little more leg speed. What was his 3200 PR in high school? Just wondering... it seems like he and I are/were pretty much equals.
Andrew Springer from Rhode Island last spring had a nice quadruple at the state meet:
4x800 split 1:55 (1st)
1500 3:54 (1st)
800 1:56 (1st)
3000 8:29 (1st)
then he went 4:02 for the mile a couple of weeks later.
Doubles are nothing compared to the quadrouple. You hardly ever see anyone doing the standard 1600-3200 at the state meet any more. ALthough for me 1600-800 would have hurt more.
I had to do the 3200 relay/1600/800/3200 quadrouple in order for my team to win at conference.
My worst race was the 800 and the 3200 was last so the only easy race was the 1600. Also the 800 was the start of the meet, not the day before like they do at state now.
3200 relay 1:57
1600-4:16
800-1:57
3200-9:19.

This is incredible if they were all run in the standard 90 minute-2 hour time frame!
Anthony Moorman as a junior in Illinois in 1997:
