10K, 5K, & Steeple triple

If you didn't win any of them I really don't see the point unless your team won conference. That guy in the SEC pulled the triple but he ran really fast and won the shit.

Otterbein had a senior girl just last weekend pull off the "triple threat". Winning all three 10K, 5K, and Steeple pretty easily.

And if I recall last year at the DIII National Yuot won all three as well.

what was impressive about this was winning the 10k by 2 minutes and lapping second place... it was the first of the trifecta and she knew she had 2 more races to win the next day. She didn't just sit in 2nd and wait to kick or just do what she had to for the win.

Saint Francis boys back in 2000... i know for sure brian sell did it and maybe one or two of his teammates did as well

Mike Chavez of UC Santa Barbara did the 1500, 5000, and 3000 steeple triple at the Big West Conference championships finishing 1st in the steeple in 8:58, 3rd in the 1500m in 3:44, and 2nd behind his teammate in the 5000. He has qualified for regionals in all three of those events too, it was pretty cool seeing him do that, it shows some toughness when a runner can do so much racing in a couple of days, but if your team needs the points, then by all means do it. UCSB lost to northridge by 2.5 points, but finishing second was the first time the men's team has ever done that. He didn't run the 10k, but it was one hell of a triple.

Matt Forys of Bucknell gave it a go at the Patriot League meet this year. He won the 10k, was 2nd in the steeple and didn't score in the 5k. It was pretty hot the whole weekend, he looked pretty dead by the 5k. Still a gutsy effort and worth doing because Bucknell almost ended Army's run of like a million straight wins, they came up 10 points short or something.

Times were not very fast but I ran the 10,000-steeple and 5000 on a Friday night Conference meet(Just 6 teams) and placed 2nd,2nd and 6th. Hard part was this was done within 4 hours. Bad news was we still got 2nd.

Reading the post about the 10K-5K double made me think about the time I pulled off the 10K-5K-Steeple triple at the same meet. It was the League meet and we needed points (I scored in all 3, our conference wasn't that good).

I'm wondering if anyone has ever done that/seen that. Is it as uncommon as I think it is? I thought it was cruel and unusual at the time, and still do. Agree? Disagree?

Macharia Yuot won all three at DIII Nats in 2006.

That's mainly becuse D3 SUCKS!

Jim Stintzi, current women's coach at U Wisconsin did it at the Big 10 meet in the early 80s. First in the 5k, First in the 10k, Second in the steeple in a two day meet....

yea and i bet you could beat yuot in a race?
