Hey man, cut him some slack, it was a typo. He obviously meant "3/4 of a century lady".
( she's about 75, right? She looks and sounds pretty old)

In all fairness to the OP, at her peak, Deena was so much faster than Joanie that they legitimately were not in the same class.

They said about Earl Campbell - he maybe not best ever - but when they called roll in his class - did't call for long
Am I the only one who has absolutely no clue what this is supposed to mean?

I am right there with you, no clue at all.
A great olympian and ambassador for marathoning but that commentary performance today during the Chicago Marathon was shrill enough to make one actually wish for Carol Lewis as a replacement.

When you are in class of your own - means very few in your class - hence - when they call roll - they call very few names - Top Tennis players of all time - they call very few names - Federer - Nadal - Borg - Laver - American guy whose name escaping me now - very few in their class - hence the roll call very short
Could you please use standard punctuation instead of dashes so that people can understand what the hell you're trying to say.
Why did you change usernames, since you're clearly the OP?
Anyway, further to your original point: almost a century later, and no physicist is in the same class as Albert Einstein. So what? You don't have to put down today's physicists to be impressed by what Einstein did.
I would say Kastor is in that league and is competing at a time where the level of competition among the women is far, far deeper.
Goucher and Flanagan are just a little back even if one eliminates the shorter distances at which they have medalled.
Deena Kastor was in a higher class, I'd say. Both great athletes.
didn't she make the olympic trials in 08 at 50 something? I imagine it will be another few quater centuries until we see that again.

I believe she qualified for the olympic trials.
Read up on her wikipedia page, what an amazing career.
