Has a high schooler ever won an XC and a 400 meter state championship?

Micheal Stemper could have won both. You ever see his kick in a 1600?

Please do not confuse a good kick in the 1600 with the speed required to win the CA state 400m.

Justin Sebens was 8th in the IL 2A state meet in the high jump and also qualified in the 3200. Not close to a win but interesting double.

Another interesting one:

Andre Igoudala

-3rd in the 2001 IL state meet in the high jump (6-8 with a pr of 6-10).

-Ran in the 1997 IL middle school state cross county meet in 8th grade (12:38 for xc 2 mile).

-2015 NBA Finals MVP. Shut down OKC in the 2016 playoffs.

as if Roesler wouldn't have won many other states as well.

When I was in college, our Conference champion in XC went on to win the Conference championship in the 400 that spring. His name was Nick Symmonds.

Ryan was great but could not have won the 400meters. Not even close.

Webb could have come close in a big state VA. He won VA cross and had the 2nd fastest 500m indoor time in the nation and he once split 47x. Although, VA usually produces at least one or two 47x sprinters each year so maybe not.

47.7 was the VA state winning time his senior year.

Interestingly, he probably could have won the 400 in the medium-sized schools (2A) class, which was won in 49.66 his senior year, BUt he would have had a bigger challenge in XC with Bobby Lockhart, who ran just 19 seconds slower than Webb at the state meet (against a much weaker field) and was Footlocker runner-up the following year.

Macy Heinz currently a junior at Ipswich (SD) HS has won state titles from 100-3200 meters.

http://www.argusleader.com/story/sports/high-school/2016/05/27/macy-heinz-goes-for-gold/85048576/

after further checking Macy Heinz has also won a state title in XC:

so she has been SC in:

100m

200m

400m

800m

3200m

and XC

I believe XC that year would have been at 4k as SD only switched to 5k this year. The OP's small school speculation is also correct. She is a class B athlete in SD's smallest classification. My question is has any other athlete duplicated what Macy Heinz has accomplished through her junior year.

Sara Stoakes of North Tama in Iowa's smallest class did this and a bunch more, 2006-2009.

Career Individual State Championships:

XC

She was a year behind the Dinsdale twins who were dominating middle distance and XC in Iowa so she ran shorter distances+XC for her first 3 years. She was part of a 4 straight team track titles, and topped it off with a 40 point solo championship as a senior winning the 400, 400h, 800 and 1500.

Sara Stoakes was who I was going to come here to post. But since you beat me to it, I'll offer up an Iowa from a generation earlier. Randy Wilson of Knoxville, Iowa (class 3A). He won the state cross country title. He then won the mile AND the 120 yard HIGH HURDLES at state track. Randy went on to run for Oklahoma and made the 1980 boycott Olympics in the 800m.

Aaron Wood from OHIO won the state golf championship last fall and just won the state 3,200 in 9:18 in division 3. Much more impressive than sprinting a 400.

Well, I am a man of truth and integrity, so no lying from me. No way am I going to give states and years. I do not want to call out any runners. States have multiple divisions, and each of those winners in any of those races is considered a state champion. Ohio has just three divisions for CC and track and field, but many less competitive states have even more divisions, and the competition is pretty weak sometimes in some of them.

I both admire and respect malmo of course, but he and I will have to disagree here. I can't for the life of me decide how someone can think that a boy who runs over 18 minutes in a 5,000 race (as I have shown to be true) to win a state title has done an impressive thing.

Christina Aragon has (like her sisters before her) won a pile of Montana state championships, 400 to XC. And for those not impressed by state titles, ranked #1 in the US in the mile. This year, won the 2M for the first time, having to beat an incredibly tough Annie Hill (second at Arcadia) to do it.

Note to NCAA.... do not let this girl be on your shoulder with 150 to go! Mind boggling kick.

Paul Ryan of Logos High School in Idaho won XC, 3200, 1600, 800, and 400 titles the 2014-2015 season. It was for the 1a division, so there was little competition, be he still ran 9:02 for 32 and 4:06 for 1600 (or thereabouts) as his PR's.

On the subject of Idaho, the famous Michael Slagowski had the fastest 400m time in the state, but opted for the 4x400m instead at state, where his team was 3rd, along with his 800, 1600, 3200, and xc wins.

Yep. That's an interesting double.

His time in the 3200 not only won Division III but would have won Division II here in Ohio too. In Division I though, he would have not even been on the podium with that time and would have finished 9th. Good for him for winning the Division III title though, and 9:18 is pretty good. Fortunately for him, he got a lot of opportunity to run against tougher competition throughout the season than just other Division III runners.

Has a high schooler ever won a field event and xc state championship?

Not sure, but Robin Reynolds won the 100, 200, 400 and Long Jump in High school, and they only allow athletes in Florida to compete in 4 events, I think she quadrupled every year except one and had 14 or 15 State titles in track, also won of the best in the state in cross country, not sure if she won state in cross country, before high school she never long jumped, she ran the 100, 200, 400 and 800 at every nationals and I think she won all 4 events like 5-6 years in a row, beating A.J. Wilson among others in the 800

As far as cross country and the 400, Pretty sure Daesha Rogers also of Florida did it multiple times, she ran 54 or 55 (Not sure) for the 400 and 2:07 for the 800 always running 57-58 on the first lap and holding on in 7th or 8th grade, pretty sure she was a state champion in the mile and cross country as well, she should still be in high school, but I have not seen her name on the national list's, could be injured, or body changes or she got tired of running, anyone know?

A kid I ran against in hs was on state championship 4x1, 4x4, and 4x8 teams all in the same year. I believe he also was runner up in the 300IH to his teammate (who set the state record).

He didn't run xc I the fall however....instead he was starting fb/lb on a state championship football team lol. Played DI football in college.

Ramsey Thomas of Catonsville HS won the Class A (then the largest) Maryland State XC meet (then only 2 miles, but it was at Hereford) in 1959 and was the state 440 champ in 1961. He later coached at Wake Forest.

Wow, that's just ignorant. You have no way of knowing how a runner will do in another race. Just for some info, the d2 winner had a faster pr. He wasn't pushed at the state meet.

Also, as long as a runner WINS, you have no way of knowing how hard they ran. That kid that wins a state title in 17 minutes could be a 15 minute guy.
