State champs triples 800,1600,3200

Ryan Shay, Michigan, Class D, 1995. His junior year won the 800, 1600, and 3200 all in the same day. He was also seeded second in the 400m but did not race.

Rita Jorgensen in Tennessee won 4 titles (4x8, 3200, 1600 and 800) this year

Quadruples, anyone?

Rodney Giles, Northern, 1983 Maryland State Championships (5 hours)

1600 4:17.8 (1st)

400 47.8 (1st)

800 1:51.0 (1st)

8 x 800 1:46.7 (1st)

scott gemberling - 2004 wv state track meet

4 state championships

800 - 1:57

1600 - 4:19

3200 - 9:21

anchored 4x8 - 7:57

ben hubers could have easily done it, had georgia let athletes compete in 3 individual events. He had the fastest 800 time in AAAAA by at least 2 seconds. Of course, he'll gladly take his 1600,3200 sweep. again.

And her school won the Team Title too I believe. Pretty sweet.

I could be wrong but I think Will Hodges of Watauga in NC tripled in 1996. 1:52, 4:12, 9:16 or something like that.

Erin Holmberg, Cooks-Big Bay deNoc High, Michigan won 4 INDIVIDUAL state titles this year -- 400, 800, 1600 & 3200 -- and set two state records.

400-METER DASH -- 1. Erin Holmberg, Cooks-Big Bay deNoc, 1:01.20.

800-METER RUN -- 1. Erin Holmberg, Cooks-Big Bay deNoc, 2:23.72 (New U.P. Division 3/Class D Finals Meet Record – Old Record, 2:24.0.

1,600-METER RUN -- 1. Erin Holmberg, Cooks-Big Bay deNoc, 5:22.79 (New U.P. Division 3/Class D Finals Meet Record – Old Record, 5:25.3, Julie Wallis, Pickford, 1988).

3,200-METER RUN -- 1. Erin Holmberg, Cooks-Big Bay deNoc, 11:59.89.

All on the same day Bumby he ran 1:53.9, 9:32, and 4:05 don't know if that's been mentioned. FWIW the 4:05 was the middle event of the 3.

Luke Lovelace from SC almost did it this year. He was less than a second off I think in the 800, and won the 16 and the 32.

Stephen Jochem in the small school New Mexico meet this year.

He won 800, 1600, 3200 in slow times (wind at 30 - 50 mph). Two other kids from the same school as the winner (Gallup Catholic) went 2 and 3 in each of the three events and a fourth kid from the same school took 4th in the 3200m.

The beauty of small-school track.

Thanks for bringing the boys triple to my attention. I knew he won the 1600 and 3200, but missed the 8. Do you know if Bowman won all 3 as a junior?

I don't think you can do four distance events in VA. Back when I ran you were not allowed to triple, even, so I'm glad to see they have loosened that restriction.

Russel Brown did the 400, 800 1600 and 3200 at the 03 state meet in NH

Katy flood a freshman at Des Moines Dowling won the 3000 1500 and 800 in 942, 436, 212 and ran on a 1st or 2nd place 4x8 this year.

While not a State Meet triple, I personally like this one from Dale Bateman of Laurel High in the 1971 PG County Champs (Maryland). Same day triple I might add.

1st Mile 4:14.5 (4:13.0 1600)

1st 880 1:56.0 (1:55.3 800)

2nd Triple Jump 42-7.5

At the Michigan Division 4 girls meet this year, Marissa Treece of GLen Lake High School, won all three events. She recorded 4:51 for the 1600m, 2:13 for the 800m and 10:56 for the 3200m. The 1600 was a state record. She has went 10:22 for 3200m this year. Notre Dame bound.

I believe Jim Bob Akers of Hurricane, WV also did the triple in 1991.

Ken Cormier won 800, 1600, 3200, and anchored 4 x 800 for Douglas HS in 2005 Arizona 4A meet. Times were 1:53.92, 4:15.01 (winning by more than 5 seconds), 9:03.34, and 4 x 800 ran 7:59.90. Don't remember a split for Ken, but he had to have run 1:55 or better for team to break 8,
