Has anyone ever done all 3? I understand that many may have been able to, but has anyone ever done it?

Way too many to mention... just so you can understand how soft your standards are...
Alan Webb - 1:43.84, 3:46.91, 7:39.29
are you looking for college guys, current college guys, or just anyone?
Kyle Perry, BYU, has run 3:59 and 7:51 indoor 2008 and 1:49 outdoor 2006.
Most top collegiate middle distance programs have at least 3-4 guys on their all-time list that meet those requirements.
daniel komen
i would think he's the only one
There probably aren't too many guys who run sub-4 who can't run a sub 1:50 800 and a sub-8 3K. I'd think would have a hard time breaking 4 without being able to run 1:52.
Lopez Lomong
He's run 1:45, I am sure he's run a sub 4 at some point, if not his 3:37 victory at NCAAs would certainly suffice, and he won the 3k indoors at NCAAs last year (his qualifying time was about 7:50 if I recall).
i have done it, and to be honest i dont think it s that tough. t mean obviously its not easy but i think anyone who has gone sub 4 could do the other two cause 150 and 800 aren't that fast compared to sub 4. it would be harder to day sub 149 sub 4 and sub 755. then the club gets smaller. even then i know a few who have

Just to give a former teammate some press, John Richardson of Kentucky has broken each of those marks this indoor season. Best of luck to him at NCAAs. I know he at least has an auto for the mile.
Best numbers:
Said Aouita 1'43.86, 3'46.76, 7'29.45
Noureddine Morceli 1'44.79, 3'44.79, 7'25.11
do you mean sub 8 3k or 2 mile?
I would think he means 800, mile, two mile, which makes things much more difficult.
Komen doesn't run 800s, does he? He's got the other two, obviously.

Do you really think he's asking about people who've managed to go sub-4 for one mile and sub-8 for two miles? Let me give you a hint: on the very, very short list of people who have run sub-8 for two miles, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM also managed to break 4 for a mile -- during their two-mile race!
Sub-1:50, sub-4:00, and sub-8:00 (for 3000m) are all good but not champion-level college performances. Sub-4 is the hardest of the three.

That's a dumb comment.
same college season.
sorry sould have been more specifc
It would be neat to better the OP standards as follows:
1'42 - better by 8.00"
3'44 - better by 16.00"
7'30 - better by 30.00"

Only one person broke 8:00 for 2miles.
Hence the "very, very short list".
