Brad Hudson 3rd, Bill Babcock 5th, Andy Martin 19th.
All three ran for North Hunterdon HS together in 1983, although Hudson transferred out moving to OR in '84.
Has something comparable to this ever been done before or since?

What about the Mastalir brothers? Did they have a 3rd mate?
And Andy had a bad day/sick. Could have been top 5 easy. Great bunch of guys

I guess not. They got 2nd and 9th though.
They had a 4th guy on that team that was really good, too. Gavin Sloane. I think they went Hudson 1st, Martin 2nd, Sloane 7th, Babcock 11th at NJ MOC in '83
Did the Hammond High guys run FLN (Kinney back then?). Don’t know the dates off the top of my head, whether they pre dated the national meet.
All 3 did go under 9:00 on the track though.
Kinney/Footlocker started in '79, Hammond HS had the three sub nine minute two milers in'75.
Who??
Are you thinking of Paul Thomas, maybe one year behind the twins? Just checked the National results and he isn't in there. I guess he didn't make it out of the regionals.
The Hauser brothers and one of their teammates (Kingwood TX HS, I think) all qualified in back-to-back years in the mid-90s. This is when each region only qualified 8 guys.
The teammate (forget his name) went on to qualify for the finals in a 3rd consecutive season, and I believe is the only guy to finish in the bottom-5 at FL Nats 3 times.

Torres twin finished 1st and 6th in 1998, but I don't think they had a teammate there.
Lewis Jones?

Just looked this up ... Kingwood High won Texas state championship in 93, 94, 95, 96, 97 and 98. In 93 Hausers and Lewis Jones went 1, 2, 3. Jones won in 95 with another guy 2nd. That guy won in 96 and other guys won in 97, and 98.
Saratoga Springs HS put four girls in the finals in 2004. Went 1, 3, 5, 6 in the tough NE regional that included the national champion (Aislinn Ryan) but did not perform as well at nationals.

An all-time "What If" is if NXN existed in the early/mid-90s so that Mead and Kingwood could have raced each other. 1993 was probably each of Kingwood and Mead's best year. In 93, Mead went 1-3 at state as well, and the Davis brothers finished 4 and 10 at FL. Skiy DeTray, number 5 for Mead in 93, qualified for FL the next year. The top 5 all ran under 4:13.
1 Andy Martin North Hunterdon 15:52.80
2 Bill Babcock North Hunterdon 15:57.60
3 Bill Barrett Christian Brothers A 16:02.20
4 John Hayes Randolph 16:03.10
5 Jack Hay Lenape Valley 16:03.50
13 Gavin Sloane North Hunterdon 16:26.00
23 Ed Letko North Hunterdon 16:35.00
Add in Brad Hudson and that is quite a team.

This... just having 4 women make FL from the same team is the best team performance of all time. Unfortunately they had to run the first ever NXN the week before FLN and it clearly took a toll on the girls. For comparison Aislinn Ryan won Foot Locker that year and Saratoga's top runner Nicole Blood beat her handily at Manhattan Invite, States, Feds, FLNE by an average of like 12 seconds.
