Its the same with the number of conference titles. The scheduling and the distances involved make doubling at conference impractical. The 1500 and 5000 finals are too close together, and running the 10000/5000 risks needlessly wearing out the athlete before nationals. Also you have team considerations.
I agree. Doubling is generally harder with the distance events and it also takes more out of your season if you race all out each time.
