We searched the database and found the best 1600/3200 doubles at the state meet since 1980. Here are the results.
Brandon Bray, a junior pole vaulter at China Spring High School in Texas, established a new US high school national class record among juniors with his clearance of 17'8.50" at the UIL State Championships on Saturday at the University of Texas in Austin, Texas. Bray had already elevated himself to a US #1 ranking for the 2014 outdoor season after clearing a new personal best of 17'6" at the Mexia Scotty Neal Relays on April 3rd, but had only cleared a best of 16'6" since that performance.
This past weekend state champions were crowned. Ever wonder which had the best performance in each event? Yeah – we did too. Check out the top performances from the craziness that is the UIL State Track Meet.
Watch the Kingwood boys close out the 2014 UIL Track and Field Championships at the University of Texas in Austin with a US leading 3:13.25 4x400 meter relay as well as all the remaining race videos by MileSplit from the Texas State Meet. Note: No race video is longer than 3 minutes in total highlights footage due to UIL state meet media policy, so the longer races such as the 1600, 3200, and 4x400 are condensed down.

AUSTIN - When the accomplishments of hurdlers at the UIL State Track & Field Meet are logged in history, there's no doubt Channing's Grant McLain will have an honored place. Which isn't too bad for somebody whose school doesn't have a track. (via Amarillo Globe-News)

AUSTIN - Saturday marked the debut of the UIL state track and field meet's wheelchair division, with competitors participating in the 100- and 400-meters races and the shot put. Said Kingwood junior Myles Marshall, who repeated as champion in the 800: "With a lot of races, I just make sure that I still think about finishing and still running my race even without the gold medal." The Cypress Springs girls (42 points) finished second behind Converse Judson (66) in 5A, placing in all three relays - the 800 relay finished second and 1,600 relay fifth - and notching a pair of top-six finishes from Essance Sample and Ariah Mack.

Legally blind pole vaulter soars to new heights as a role model [...] Brown recognized the magnitude of the moment as she was surrounded by cameras and reporters. "When I set out to pole vault and try to figure this out, I never thought this is going to be an inspiration to people or I'm going to be a role model to people," said Brown, who cleared 11 feet. Brown was born with normal vision but developed sight problems that required surgery when she was an infant and a later procedure during elementary school. When Brown races, she runs in the inside lane, where the contrast between the track (usually black) and grass guides her around. Last year, she used an indoor-outdoor carpet put down next to the running lane to create the contrast. (via Houston Chronicle)
