Can Jackie Areson replicate Galen Rupp's NCAA triple play (5000-DMR anchor-3000)?

I can't see JA winning more than one event.
Hasay is attempting a similar triple with the mile, 3k and a dmr leg. this is gonna be a bloodbath!
Lucy ran 4:32 for the mile, then only declared for the 3000.
What's the schedule like for these events - how close together are the races for the ones that double or triple?
The thing about Hasay is, they can run a great DMR without her and let her focus on the 2 open events. They are trying to win an overall team title and have Kesselring 2:04/4:36 this season, Buckman 4:37, and Laura Roeslar 2:04.
Last year their men ran with AJ lead off and Wheating anchor and a guy I hadnt hear of until that day (Travis Thompson) run the 8 and let Greer and Fleet focus on open events.
It seems like letting Kosinski and Hasay focus on their distance doubles and have the others tackle the DMR is smartest.
As for Areson, she isnt as good as Rupp and this triple will not end in 3 titles, I would guess she will likely come away with the 5k title. Tennessee may run the DMR without her.
Reid, Van Dalen, Areson, Hasay show down in the 3k may be the race I am most excited for. Surprised Van Dalen is running fresh, she had a bigger NCAA #1 with her 4:32 than with her identical 8:56 with Reid. Reid is tough as nails. Hasay may be on her 4th race (with mile prelim) of the weekend and if Areson wins the 5k, that little extra fire may not be there when the going gets tough. That being said, she has a great kick. I say this race will produce PRs for at least 2 of the 4 girls listed above.

There is a different mindset when you are chasing a team title; I think Oregon is focusing on points. I can only see Oregon winning one event and that is Theisen in the pentathlon.
