Menomonee Falls North, 1979-80 school year and eventual HS PRs:
Junior Tim Hacker (9th at 79 Kinney, 4th at 80 Kinney, 1:52/4:12/8:52/14:47)
Junior Joe Stintzi (80 Kinney Qualifier 4:11/9:00/15:02)
Senior Dave Hacker (15th at 79 Kinney MW, 1:54/4:15/9:28y as a soph/15:34)
Stevens Point, 1981-82 school year and eventual PRs:
Senior Keith Hanson (Top 15 at 81 Kinney/4:15/8:53y/15:04)
Senior Steve Cherney (4:15/9:26/15:31)
Sophomore Gary Anderson (4:30/9:30 type as a frosh & 15:24)
Falls North 79 was a great team but they lacked balance, lost their state meet to a balanced Oak Creek team (16:05c avg). However, the stronger the meet the better they'd do because their top three were so excellent. Had there been an NXN you might get the three in the top 20 on the right day and win the thing.
SPASH 81 had the balance and were able to regroup 4-5 years after Hanson and Cherney left because of the tone they set. Anderson never figured out track but a) had a near 15-flat frosh time on the track and was a real force in cross country.
Hacker & Hanson can be seen running 1-2 in the 1985 NCAA XC race here:
Hacker was no joke. He beat everyone who was anyone at 97 USATF

Loudoun Valley had some pretty good top-3s, but they could have been even stronger if Affolder had been on the team in 2016/2017

Northport on Long Island had three guys that broke 9:00 for two miles in the same race in 2014: twins Jack McGowan and Tim McGowan as well as Mikey Brannigan.
Chapa, Pinkowski, Keogh - all sub 9 2 milers in the '70s Hammond, Indiana
Southlake High School Texas.
La Salle Academy (2016) was pretty good. Jack Salisbury, Matthew Bouthillette, DJ Principe. That year alone:
Salisbury 1:52/4:04y/8:57
Principe 4:07y/8:51
Bouth 4:12y/8:53y
Principe of course ran 4:00/8:47 for full mile and 2-mile in 2017 as a senior. They also all ran sub-9:00 for 3200m at the Loucks games (8:51, 8:51, 8:57) though they never accomplished the feat in a full 2-mile.
Brentwood (2017) was another recent one.
Hasty 4:01y/8:45y
Thompson 1:52/4:08y/8:57
Vroon 4:15y/8:57
Hasty went on to run 4:00.05 for the mile and 8:00 for the 3k as a senior in 2018.

some good trios here ... can't remember all of the Southlake kids, but #1 was Colby Lowe, an 8:45 type guy. Their #2 was a 4:10 miler, I believe.
