Francie Larrieu.  She wasn't as good as Sonia O'Sullivan, but she was an 
Olympian and/or WC team member at 1500, 10K, and marathon (and maybe other 
distances that I am forgetting about).

How about a few of Ma Junren's 1993 prodigies who ran sub-4:00, sub-8:10 or
8:20, and then capped it all off with 2:24 marathons or thereabouts all in
the same year (Wang Junxia, Qu Yunxia, I think, and maybe 2-3 more). Do
they count? :^)

She's fifteen minutes off of the world record. Let her get competitive at
the marathon first before you give her credit for "range".

Don't see much talk of 2:20 mens marathoners and their "competitive range"?
