triple crown
Sweep of three
A triple crown is any achievement combining three major victories or honors in a field.
The term derives from horse racing's original Triple Crown—three prestigious races won in a single season—but applies broadly to any set of three top accomplishments: She completed the triple crown of hiking by finishing all three major trails. (Capitalized Triple Crown refers to specific named achievements in sports.)
