yojiro uetake has to be mentioned as well.

Already mentioned but Jesse Owens, Suzy Favor and Cael Sanderson are all pretty good suggestions that would be hard to argue.
How about Alcindor even though he only had 3 years?
Pre (never lost over a mile; cross country)
Jesse Owens
Jackie Robinson
Cael Sanderson
Tiger Woods
Lindgren beat Pre in cross.
Ashton Eaton 3 NCAA's DEC. Championships for him not to mention the world record ;)
Nyambui won 15 NCAA titles and was a 19X All-American...all at the ripe old age of 28+ years old!!! Still, he was pretty friction' dominant (rules allowed older athletes at that time)
Wilt Chamberlin, Kansas?
alistair cragg. 7:38 NCAA record. 13:12 senior yr.

Cragg had to race guys like Nick Willis too. Crazy.
Hank,
Many NCCA titles. 4 WR in 1978, 7:32.1 3k, 8:05.4 St., 13:08.4 5, and 27:22.5 10k.
But the best day of that year was his NCAA heats. 8:18 St and 13:21 5k when he sprinted the straights and jogged the turns.
No one ha ever run a 5k that fast as work out like he did after a 8:18 steeple, how fast could he have run the 5k if rabbited and that was his only race that day.
Jackie Robinson of Muir High School, Pasadena, California. Lettered in four sports at UCLA.
Jim Ryun. WR in mile three times, 880, sprint medley, distance medley, AR in two mile, hundreds of victories.
Eric Walder, Robert Howard...11 and 10 NCAA titles in two events over 4 years respectively...and they didn't win a freshman. That is dominance for you...Boom, Boom, Boom. Wooooooo Pig Souieeeeee!

Domination was the topic...I heard Wilt "The Stilt" really dominated the women. Something to the tune of 10,000.
