Basically, how fast would you CURRENTLY be able to run the 800 1600 and 3200
To be able to handle sub 16 5k pace simultaneously? On cross country btw

Can't really speak from a cross country perspective because every course is different, but in general if you are training sufficiently, 4:40/10:00/16:10 1600/3200/5000, give or take, match up pretty well on the track. To achieve 5:07 pace in my opinion you'd have to be 4:37/9:54 in the 1600 and 3200. XC? I wouldn't worry too much about times.
It depends on the course and the runner (especially with the 800, that's a very different race from the 5k). When I was a senior in high school, I ran 16:08 in the 5k (on a fast cross country course in the fall), then 4:39 and 9:48 on the track in the spring. I never ran the 800, but I probably would've struggled to break 2:10 lol
ran 15:59 on grass then 2 weeks later did a 3200 TT on the track in 9:53 off a 5:05 first mile. my mile/800 PRs at the time were 4:36 and 1:57 but I figure I was good for ~ 4:30ish and 2:00 ish on the same day. something in the range of 4:30-35/9:50-55 is probably where most people would fall into. 800 fitness has basically nothing to do with 5k fitness so maybe like 2:08?
I am thinking back to my high school days (circa early 2000s)
My senior year there were only 2 kids capable of running consistent sub 16s in my state, that winter/spring they were running 4:20-4:25ish in the 1600 and 9:20-9:30ish in the 3200. The spring before their senior xc season they were in the 4:30/9:30 range, finishing just out of place for a medal at states
Minimums for sub-16 on a track 2:15/4:40/10:00 with great endurance. Faster for sub-16:00 XC. Going to be hard for a HSer, who isn't aerobically developed, to run sub-16 off of those PBs.
