I am pretty sure the only runner who competed at 1500m and up to ever win was Jenny Simpson. Even when Abby Dags and Karissa Schweizer won three NCAA titles in one year they didn't win. Bowerman didn't exist when Favor, Kipyego, Huber, and Skieresz were running. I'm sure at least a couple of them would have won it.
Valby would need to pull off the 3K/5K double indoors and win at least one title outdoors to even have a shot. Probably would need to break an NCAA record, too.
Cheserek didn't even win.
Tuohy broke the indoor mile, indoor 1500m, Indoor 3k, Outdoor 5k records and got two indoor titles. If she had gotten one or two outdoor title she may still have lost to the sprinters. The don't count cross country titles.
Sprinters are setting world leads, american records. It hasn't gone to a distance runner (male or female) since 2009.
