Couldn’t you also read this as saying they have to be listed separately in the official results and thus couldn’t both be competing for a ncaa title. The NCAA would have to be officially conducting two separate races at the same time, not just submitting a separated list to world athletics, but considering it one race for ncaa purposes. It’s definitely unclear.
The legal language is pretty clear. Your interpretation is why they threw out the 5 and 10k races from being eligible for WA points.
On a separate note, I noticed Beatrice Chepkoech has a 3000 in her rankings calc for the 5000. The inclusion of 3000s would boost Valby's 5000 ranking significantly.
