There has been plenty of good running twins, but can anyone recall some good running triplets?

The Torres twins that ran for CU (Buffs) back in the day were pretty good. I believe both went on to have successful professional careers after college.
Reading comprehension clearly not your strongest asset
At Duckburg HS, the Duck brothers---- Huey, Dewey, and Louie, were quite outstanding.

10/10.
The Stooge brothers had game: Moe, Larry and Curly
I've got triplets on the team next year.... crossing my fingers
Not super-fast, but back in the old days (pre-NCAA), there were triplets from Maryland that all ran for different college teams - The Wiemanns (Weimanns?) - Erica (Cornell), Sandy (Coast Guard) and one whose name started with M, Marissa? at Georgetown. Erica was a sub-3 hour marathoner. They were identical and even sounded alike, though at the time they wore their hair at different lengths. They had a younger sister and apparently they once ran a 2 mile relay with her. ;-)

Amazing--I was going to post about them! Actually coached one of them for a while in college. (Yes, it's "Wiemann.") Recruited the kid, sight unseen, and remember being puzzled to read (in newspaper clippings from the area) about how the girls, though they'd try to run together in high school races, would lose sight of each other in large fields.
Then the kid arrived on campus and I understood better--she was about 5-foot-nothin' on her best day. (And I think she was still taller than her mom--that must have been some "outstanding" pregnancy.) Good runner, though. The trio ran at Springbrook HS in Silver Spring, MD.
BTW, the Cornell one was actually "Erika," I believe.
Not just triplets, but a 4th sister, too. All varsity on a state-ranked D1 team.

there were female triplets on my cross team in HS. Two were all state and the other one was barely seventh on the team (the slow one was also the only one that wore glasses).
You think Amanda was born first Brianna second and Christina last
The Molina triplets are very good runners. They have each sprinnted to first base after a hit in less than 9 seconds.
Yup, it was "Erika" - I had to check my old scrapbook for that one -- and the 3rd one's name was "Marcella", or Marcy. They were TEENY - not worth anything for drafting behind. ;-)
The Irish Trio--the McGhees: Trip ..Trey and Tree.
I saw them all tree run tree tirty tree for the 1500 in '03.
yadier has a cannon, eh?
Those three were truly amazing...when they ran together they were almost like race cars, lasers, aeroplanes. it's a duck blur.
