What does this 6x800 workout say about my 5k fitness?

that looks like upper 19s to me. not too shabby for a freshman

For 3 miles, sub 18 is a good target. For 5K, 18:30.

It looks like you averaged about 2:57. This workout is possible at 2 mile pace but it is very hard. So let’s says your 2 mile pace is 5:54, I’m going to add 15 seconds to see your 5k pace. I’m only adding 15 because you very likely can run faster than 5:54 pace for 2 miles. That gives you 6:09 pace which is about a 18:27 3 mile or about a 19:15 5k.

Depends on how speed oriented you are. I know some people that would run that workout and be able to run high 18s, and others like me that would be hard pressed to crack 20 with that. If you have an average FT/ST ratio I'd think you could run mid 19s. Good Luck!

Thanks this seems about right, I usually do 4x1 mile at 6:30 with 1 min rest as a tempo and it isn’t all out, and I am definitely not speed oriented, as I always get beat in 200m repeats by people who I can easily pass in 1k repeats.

Also, because of your age, you're likely to improve beyond your current fitness by the time you have any races.
