Not a dual, but I saw a SP/discus thrower at a 6 or 8 team meet last year run the 3200. He was 2nd/3rd in SP/discus, and then ran a 14:00 2 mile w/o walking. We're talking about a big, big, big boy. It was impressive.
In a dual meet wining by over a minute in the 2 mile and 30 seconds in the mile Rich Kimball ran something like 9:10 and 4:12. In the state meet he ran sub-8:50 and 4:07.
won the 800, 2nd in the mile, and won the shot put in 8th grade!
nice!
thats not very impressive, i have done a 1:53 800 then 10 min later a 49 quarter at a dual meet and i dont even consider that special
Now that is a serious double! 10 mins between the two? Really?
I sucked in high school, but my best dual meet was:
1600: 4:44 - 1st
400: 54.4 - 1st
200: 25.3 - 3rd
4x400: 53.9 - 1st
It's funny, cuz at the time those times were all mildly impressive for me and the coaches and local paper were amazed that I could run the between the 200 and the 1600 effectively. Of course now I look at those times and I scoff at them.
2 29.4 1000m
1 21.1 600m
45 min rest
Rich Kimball was amazing.
Not having grown up in WA state, I don't know the details first hand, but Gordy Braun is reputed to have laid down a sweet triple. I've heard the times. I'd rather hear it from others who were there. However, I don't know if it was a dual meet or state. Confirmation?

I once ran a 2:02.3 800 m and then set a record for how quickly I got to the bathroom. Damn, that was something.
Brian Turner from Nebraska (attended Michigan, and I think is finished now) ran this at State Meet:
~1:53 800
~4:12 1600
~9:23 3200
he may have anchored the 3200mR before starting all the individual races also, but I cannot remember.
It was in 2000 I believe. He won all three also.
When they had Webb, Willis, Brannen, Turner, Greenless (1:50.71 in HS), they also had guys like Ellerton and Rondell Ruff as freshman or sophomores.
They had so many guys with already great times in HS that I thought they would smash the DMR and 4 x 1500, 4 x Mile records , maybe even bring them under 15:00 and 16:00, but without Webb and some of the guys not getting much better than high school that didn't happen.
Greenless has switched to 3k/5k and Ruff is doing very well at 1500, maybe this will be the year they challenge the Arkansas Collegiate records at Penn?
Here is the greatest quadruple ever accomplished in the history of track and field: 4 world records in 45 minutes. There are no other stories that even compare. Jesse Owens of The Ohio State University:
At the Big Ten meet in Ann Arbor on May 25, 1935, Jesse set three world records and tied a fourth, all in a span of about 45 minutes. Jesse had an ailing back the entire week leading up to the meet in Ann Arbor. He had fallen down a flight of stairs, and it was questionable whether he would physically be able to participate in the meet. He received treatment right up to race time. Confident that the treatment helped, Jesse persuaded the coach to allow him to run the 100-yard dash. Remarkably, each race timer had clocked him at an official 9.4 seconds, once again tying the world record. This convinced Owens' coach to allow him to participate in his other events. A mere fifteen minutes later, Jesse took his first attempt it the broad jump. Prior to jumping, Jesse put a handkerchief at 26 feet 2½ inches, the distance of the world record. After such a bold gesture, he soared to a distance of 26 feet 8¼ inches, shattering the old world record by nearly 6 inches.
Disregarding the pain, Jesse proceeded to set a new world record in the 220-yard dash in 20.3 seconds, besting the old record by three-tenths of a second. Within the next fifteen minutes, Jesse was ready to compete in another event, this one being the 220-yard low hurdles. In his final event, Owens' official time was 22.6 seconds. This time would set yet another world record, beating the old record by four-tenths of a second. Jesse Owens had completed a task that had never been accomplished in the history of track and field. He had set three new world records and equaled a fourth.
This was junior high, but a 9th grader at my school (I was a 7th grader at the time) won the 200 in 25._ and then in the next event - so maybe 5 minutes later - won the mile in 5:04.
