Best Quadruple?

100: 10.56

200: 21.22

400: 49

800: 2:01

but how many high schools let your quadruple when your only allowed 3 runner and 1 field event?

Well, I'm no German Fernandez, but I did this quite a few years ago, in a matter of about 3 hours:

2:00 (4X8 split)

4:23

1:59

9:37 HS PR (about 15 mins after the 800, closing in 65)

Seems like I was always running triples or quads at big meets, so I never really ran a 3200 fresh. Think I had a 9:15 in me? It's been about 20 years, and I've always regretted never really bustin' a huge 3200 PR in h.s.... regret sucks, eh?

ive seen this:

4X8 split- 1:54

1600- 4:18

800- 1:58

4x4 split- 47.x

My favorite quadruple is Westvleteren 12 from Belgium.

I knew German Fernandez ran 1600 in 4:18, 800-1:58, 3200-8:53 and 4*400 split in 53 in one meet but was wondering if anyone had done better. I know who probably has the best triple of all-time. Alan Webb went 1600-4:06, 800-1:49 and 400-49 in one meet.

It's pretty damn tough to top this one.

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)

Here's a photo of Giles in one of his few losses.

That Stockwell kid from Iowa or Idaho.

I think he runs for Alabama now.

Think he went like low 21, 47, 1:49 and a relay

In 1975 City prelims that kid from Hollywood,(Baksch or something)ran like 1:56,sub 4:20, sub 9:20 and the mile relay.

But it was 106 degrees and a 3rd stage smog alert. I remember because they told everyone with respiratory problems to stay indoors, other people to refrain from physical activty etc and i thought they would surely cancel the meet.

But they didnt and this guy just ripped everyone to shreds, it was Africa hot( and he was from Morrocco i believe) but that smog, you couldnt draw a deep breath let alone run hard...

I seem to remember Fred Sharpe in high school at the NJ Meet of Champs running 51 in the IH, then 45 min later running 1:53, and then 45 min later running 4:15, and then running a solid anchor leg of the 4 x 4.

Kid was a beast in high school.

Russell Brown back in 2003 won the 400, 800, 1600, and 3200 all at the Class I championship. His times weren't ridiculous, but the fact that he won all 4 events at his class meet in like 3 hours is really impressive.

400 - 50.77

800 - 1:58.01

1600 - 4:28.03

3200 - 9:58.29

Earlier that year, he was the indoor 800m champ (1:53.09) at NIN, too.

I bet Carl Lewis and Skeets Nehemiah had some pretty impressive quadruples back in the day.

1600 - 4:30

800 - 2:01

3200 - 10:28

4x4 - 51.

I easily wont the mile and 2mile, got 3rd in the 800 and we placed 2nd in the 4x4. My school had no depth. Not the best performance but I am not naming some other person as you all are. I quadrupled every race my junior/senior year besides regionals and state. Tooooot my horn.

is 8x800 a typo malmo?

and how accurate is that 146.7?

Okay not in high school but small college.

I once did an uber quad.

10,000m - 33:55

3,000m Steeple - 10:20s

400m High Hurdles- 59

4X400- No clue probably a 54.

not great times but I was spent.

Teammate of mine did the following at states:

4x8: 1:56 split (2nd)

1600: 4:18 (1st)

3200: 9:3? (1st)

800: 1:56 (3rd)

Teammate of mine did the following his sophomore year in a dual meet within 2 hours from start to finish:

1. 4x800 in 2:07 split (5th)

2. 1600 in 4:53 (6th)

3. 3200 in 10:47 (4th)

4. Then coach shoved a douche in his @ss for running his legs ragged. He never got any faster.

I was going to say Kurt Browning's quadruple toe loop in 1988. Surprised to see a running related thread on here.
