I think something like this works, but maybe someone can improve upon  
it:

\documentclass{article}

\newlength{\widthleft}
\newlength{\widthright}

\newcommand{\sectest}[3]{%
\noindent%
\settowidth{\widthleft}{#1}%
\settowidth{\widthright}{#3}%
#1%
\hspace{-\widthleft}
\hspace{\widthright}\hfill#2\hfill#3%
\\%
}

\begin{document}

\sectest{Left text}{Center text}{Right text}

\sectest{More Left text}{Center text}{Right text}

\end{document}
