That's gotta smart. Each one of those would be an exceptional lifetime best, yet it doesn't put you as one of the top-16 18-22 year olds in the country in your discipline.
From now on if I ever meet anyone who tells me they qualified for an NCAA track meet, I will bend over and kiss his feet.

Fixed.
Wow! Really?
I've seen all of those times as the leading NCAA indoor time before.
Out of curiosity, which of those is the strongest mark? I'd guess the mile.

mile>5000>3000>800, but the first three pretty close.
Declarations aren't finalized yet - some of those will get in.
yet that 3k mark would qualify someone into euro champs
PEDs rampant now in D1?
Wish some super rich billionaire would donate a crap ton of money to keep some of these outstanding collegiate runners training and trying to make Olympic teams... build a training center specifically for distance runners, hire a staff for these athletes... ah if only I were Bill gates or Donald trump...
How many of the Top 16 per event end up in Rio in 2016?
How many of them are Americans (per event)?

If you mean Americans:
800m: zero
1500m: maybe one (Soratos)
5000m (including 3000m list): maybe one (Jenkins)
10000m: maybe one (Shrader, based on USA 12k win)
Even these guys are not likely to be favorites going into the Trials. Anyone else is a long, long shot at this point.
http://www.tfrrs.org/lists/1345.html#54The 1:48:20 would also qualify you, mark is 1:49:00
The 1500 equivelant from the mile is 3:41.00
3:42:00 is the mark to qualify.
1:48:20 will be 25th on european list
3:41:00 will be 16th
7:53:41 will be 19th
13:47:42 not often run, 3rd on list.
This has been a pretty fast season, but looking at the top 16 from last year it's not too far off.
2013-2014 Season:
800: 1:48.82
Mile: 3:59.12
3000: 7:53.13
5000: 13:44.85
Andres Arroyo has a shot

Brandon McBride has the best shot of nearly anyone on that list I would think.

Why just distance runners?
Brandon Mcbride is a Canadian, so good luck having the superstar on your US Olympic team.

From my home state, so of course I will root for him. And he deserves recognition as the leading American collegian on time.
But he's in the long, long shot category for Rio with a 1:46 high PR and without flashy finishing speed (at least so far).
Is your home state Puerto Rico? That's where arroyo is from
