Just wondering if it's ever been done. How about 400 and 1600 or 400 and 3200?

Yes, not sure who, but you can google it. It would be someone in a 1a or 2a division that was dominant and there was either no limit on events per person or they decided to run the 4 instead of the 3200. Many people win xc in 1a that prefer shorter distances.
Maybe Laura Roesler, who ran 53.25 at the South (North?) Dakota state championships and I believe also won something like the 100, 200, and 800.
From Laura Roesler's Oregon Bio:
Prep: An Olympic Trials semifinalist (800 meters), IAAF World Junior Championships semifinalist (800) and 22-time North Dakota state champion. Dominated the North Dakota prep running scene for Fargo South High School. Won six straight state titles at 400 meters, five straight at 200 and 800 meters, four at 100 meters and also claimed a pair of cross country titles. As a senior, captured state crowns at 200 (24.90), 400 (53.25) and 800 (2:17.64) meters and was second in the 100 (12.38). The 400 mark was a meet record and the seventh-fastest among high schoolers in 2010. Went on to compete in the 800 meters at the USA Junior Track & Field Championships, where she was the runner-up in 2:05.80. Wrapped prep career at the 2010 IAAF World Championships, where she ran a season-best 2:04.34 in the semifinals, missing the final by .01. That was the No. 2 U.S. high school 800 time in the nation in 2010. From 2006 to 2009 won four straight North Dakota state titles at four different distances: 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters and 800 meters. Was also the North Dakota cross country champion as a freshman and sophomore.
Jim McCreery, Gillette HS in Wyoming won the quad (might be the only one to have done it)

Good times, too. Considering altitude and all.
Sammy Watson 1500 and 400.
Did Liz Mueller from Connecticut win the 400 years ago or just the 400h?
Justin Hedin, BYU
Lambie and Keklak won the XC and the 800.
There was no 400 hurdles in Connecticut HS in Liz Mueller's day.
Nick Hartle (UCLA) did this in Nevada.
Susan Nash won ten Ohio state championships in Class A (smallest schools) in the early 80s with this kind of range.
1981 - 400 meters
1982 - 400, 800
1983 - XC, 100, 400, 800
1984 - XC, 400, 800
She ran 2:06.99, not too shabby for the time.
Whitney Adams, who now runs for Kansas, came close. She finished seventh at state in XC and won the 400m in track, Class 4 (2012-2013?). I think her PR's in those events are 54.67 and 18:57.
Ryan Shay competed in an extremely weak division and probably could have attained this. Not the point of the thread, I know, but he could have.

This is potentially not an impressive feat whatsoever. There are boys on my son's HS team (not him though because he can't run faster than about 55 for the 400 at the moment) who could EASILY win a state championship in the 400 and in cross country at some podunk state and/or division. NOT impressed with the times put up by some "state champions" in this country of ours. Just being a state champion is meaningless. Has to be in a competitive state and division to mean anything at all, and even then, sometimes the winning times aren't all that impressive. WAY more interested in the times.
Zachary Wright of Conant High School in NH ran a 50.6 400m, 4:09 1600m, and ran 15:46 in XC 5k. Maybe he could have done it in a weak state.
Just to illustrate this, I just looked up a less-populous state and found that the boys winner of the small school division in that state would have been beaten by the top 12 guys from my son's CC team from Ohio. I even took that kid's best time ever and compared it to the Ohio team.
Just not impressive at all simply to be a "state champion".
How did your son's track season go Flagpole?

Keklak could've won the 400 if she'd opted too. Dana Jamieson was third at Northfield in her first year of XC and ran 55.80 to win All-States that spring.

Michael Dols of Chelan HS in Washington (2A = pretty small school). As a JR he won the 2A Cross Country title in 16:22. The next year, as a SR he won the 400m title as a SR in 2005 in 48.80. He also won the 1600m in 4:26.14 and anchored his 4x400m to the title in 3:26.20 Oddly he didnt run the 800m, where he'd placed 2nd the year before in 1:58.
Another WA throwback who didn't win both, but had impressive performances on both ends was Becca Noble of Rogers-Spokane:
SR 2005 400m: 1st, 54.14 4A State Meet Record [53.30 Season PR 2:03.73 US #1 800m]
SR 2004 XC: 3rd, 18:39 - 3rd behind Brie Felnagle
JR 2004 400m: 1st, 54.31 4A State Meet Record [53.84 FAT and 53.64 HT earlier in the season]
JR 2003 XC: 9th, 19:01
Soph 2003 400m: 1st, 54.90
Soph 2002 XC: 40th, 19:53
Another, she probably could have.....
Check out this range which includes 20:24 for 6K, 2:00 and Stanford record for 800, and 14.29 for 100 hurdles. She won Ohio's large schools XC and 100 hurdles.
