How many NCAA titles would Jakob Ingebrigtsen win?

He'd have a shot at a King Ches type of haul if he was there for 4 years, that's for sure.

What is the most extreme combination at NCAAs? How many people have tripled or quadrupled, excluding sprints and field events?

What is the most extreme combination at any level (excluding local or events with low participation)?

I didn't realise he was a good steeplechaser until I looked at his IAAF profile just now!

All of his wins and titles will be irrelevant when we race in 2020.

He would win as many as he raced.

He could possibly triple with 10k (final two days earlier than the others, no prelim), and two events on the last day (out of 1500, 3k steeple, 5k). Winning four events would be pretty difficult, especially because the level of competition is so high. Justyn Knight finished 9th at the 2017 senior world championships in the 5k and couldn't win the NCAA meet this year.

All of them

He goes hard and doesn’t have enough in the tank for more races, or he takes it easy and gets outkicked. Either way he doesn’t pull it off.

The quad would be tough, but the 1500 would be a breeze for him, and he would likely only have to work really hard on the 5000, most years the last lap is like 56, which Jakob can quite easily manage even in a way faster race. I do wonder what he could run for 10000, guessing he could easily break the NCAA record if he went for it but then the other events would be tough. How fast could he steeple now considering he did 8:26 on his first go last year? 8:10?

Probably not that many. He'd go to a school where the coach would treat him like a shiny new toy and burn him up trying to rack up points.

I don't see him winning XC

I doubt he would win as many as Ches. NCAAs are stacked with kickers and guys who come out of the woodwork every year, just ask Justin Knight. Though Im sure he would have quit the successful career with 5-10 titles and 10-15 All Americans.

I think the NCAA record for 10,000 is 27:08 by Sam Chelenga, so I would be pretty impressed if he could run that fast (at least at this point in his career). If he was old enough to be a college senior, then it's anybody's guess.

Older brother went to Texas A&M for a while.

I wouldn't rule it out. He won a European U/20 XC title when he was 16, think won it again at 17.

He'd definitely win the great white hope title every season of his time in the NCAA, but Katelyn Tuohy might give him a run for his money.

Which Division? Probably III, maybe II. Probably a double or triple in I.

No way. According to Rojo NCAA is the best way to the top and anyone who drops NCAA to train smart and professional and aiming for a career in running, is what is wrong with the world.

There is no way he could break the NCAA 10000 record at least not while he still in college. Go check how many white men have broke that time.
