Best high school twin running duo?

Mercado twins were an amazing 1-2 punch with Diego making more of a name for himself recently.

Deerfield HS in Illinois had some legendary teams in the 1970s, and the McAllister twins were sub 4:10 milers (real mile).

The Zielger twins, Jackie and Laura were really fast in HS and college.

I was wondering who were the best high school running duo in history. Im from Jersey and I only know Jersey's running history well and Know that Jim and Joe Rosa were Phenomenal twins who were amazing runners. Currently Will and Colin Daly (Also from Jersey) are both also amazing runners who are on course to come 1-2 in the state meet.

Times: 800m 1600m/mile converted 3200m/2 mile converted

Joe Rosa: 1:58.90 4:06.22 8:48.55

Jim Rosa: 1:53.65 4:06.26 8:48.38

Colin Daly: 1:55.27 4:08.69 9:14.66

The millers

The Olsen Twins.

The 3200 at Arcadia in 1986 was probably the greatest twin vs twin showdown of all time, as the Mastalirs finished 1-2 ahead of the Stonerocks from Saugus. Cool race to watch.

That picture is NOT of the Ziegle twins. It is of the Nazi singing group Prussian Blue.

Theo and Tim Martin from Page, AZ back in the early 1990's.

Kyle and Brant Armentrout

John and Drew Ganger

Allen and Spud Webb. One a american record holder, the other nba dunk champ.

Best!!!

Calvin and Alvin Harrison (born January 20, 1974) from California.

At the 2000 Olympics, Alvin Harrison and Calvin Harrison made history by becoming the first twins ever to compete and win Olympic gold medals together on the same relay team since the inception of the modern Olympic Games. In the 4×400m relay, Alvin ran the first leg and Calvin ran the third leg.

Alvin also won Olympic gold in 96 4x400 and silver in 2000 open 400m

hopefully you read the whole wikipedia article, including the part where they were stripped of those medals from 2000, and their own drug suspensions a few years later...

I'm not sure why you hope I read the rest of the career synopsis. I didn't need a Wikipedia article to know they were dopers and lost their medals. But doing some copy and paste sure saves time posting on a message board.

The question was best HS twin running duo. They crushed it in HS and went on to olympic gold.

A better comment probably would have been more along the lines of... I hope you know this post is about HS twins. Not college or pro twins!

I guess I'm lazy.

The Miller Twins...Craig and Brad. Craig was a 4:05 high school miler and Brad a 4:14(?)

Mastalir's- think they were the fastest overall.

1200 and 1600 legs on the first dmed to go under 10:00.

Think one split 3:00, the other 4:04

Going to have to go with Kevin and Jonathan Borlee of Belgium. Not too many sets of twins out there running 46.95 and 46.06 in the 400 their second year of track and field. This was at age 18 before they went to FSU. Couldn't find any times prior to 18, but that's pretty damn fast...
