Your BOYS High School CC Team vs. Junxia Wang, Meseret Defar, Tirunesh Dibaba, Lornah Kiplagat and Paula Radcliffe.

Add Jordan Hasay into the lineup and they are simply unbeatable.

You pick 5 of the best female runners vs 5 random guys?

How about 5 of the fastest high school boys?

Oh, the boys win...

Not if you have Jordan Hasay in the lineup.

Jordan would lose to Yunxia Qu by almost half a lap in a 1500.

Umm... what are you talking about? I don't think Yunxia Qu has any high school records nor did she make it to the finals of the Olympic Trials. Read up on your facts before you try to make a stupid argument.

no really mature adult would take the time to post something like this either. don't feel so proud of yourself.

What a moron. Yunxia Qu holds the WORLD RECORD.

I think you fail to realize that Jordan Hasay was only a HS junior when she ran that record... I don't know if you realize this, but you have to take into account age when you look at times.. Maybe YOU'RE the moron here, hmm?

Wow are you serious, Qunxia Yu ran that pretty young too! So what if it was just a few years older than Hasay.. next thing you will be saying she will get the WR?

EPO does wonderful things

Paula Radcliffe vs. Wang Junxia Boston, 1992 World XC, Junior Women video:

I'd love to see these two, Dibaba, Defar and Lornah Kiplagat smoke high school boys teams, and college mens teams too.

well maybe jordan hasay will get the world junior record/s this year, dont compare her to senior athletes when she is a junior compare her to other juniors.

Wang Junxia 10K record stats:

Date: 8 September, 1993

Where: Beijing, China

Time: 29 min : 31.78 sec

Av. Speed: 20.32 km/h

2:57 min:sec/km

On a team with those other world record setting women high school boys would wilt under the pressure, and college men too.

I love the thought of this race happening, and yeah, I'm a girl. [...] an inspiration to girls and women everywhere who can envision this race taking place.

When I was a kid, when I was a little boy, I always wanted to be a dinosaur. I wanted to be a Tyrannosaurus Rex more than anything in the world: I made my arms short and I roamed the back yard, I chased the neighborhood cats, I growled and I roared. Everybody knew me and was afraid of me, and one day my dad said "Bobby you are 17, it’s time to throw childish things aside" and I said "OK Pop", but he didn't really say that he said that "Stop being a f*cking dinosaur and get a job".

If this dream team of women came to race at my high school and beat our boys team, I think it would be really inspiring and encourage myself and many other girls at my school to train harder. Why don't some of you guys want to admit that even with your years of training these women would beat you too?

Of course, we can admit it. But it's not like we needed to be reminded that elite athletes are elite for a reason.

Congratulations, you found 5 women that can beat a lot of guys in a race. Who cares? let's find all the high school boys who can beat college aged women (and men). Let's find 8th grade boys who can beat college aged women. Better yet, let's find 8th grade boys who can beat all the women posting on this website. Even better, let's find all the 70+ year old men who can run faster than your girls high school team (yes, they're out there)

This whole thread is absurd. Elite runners are elite for a reason. We haven't forgotten that they're faster than most of us. But you can't really make a compelling argument by comparing the world's best to a bunch of high school boys who know nothing about running. You're only lowering yourselves.

Some of the best male runners in the world would also go down in defeat to women.

What if I told you that the men who would lose to women runners included:

Steve Prefontaine

Gary Lindgren

Wilson Kipketer

Paul Tergat

Usain Bolt

Haile Gebrselassie

And even Kenenisa Bekele...

Here are the facts proving that even these top male runners would all likely go down in flames in the following track running competition for the ages, again assuming each runner to be in their prime condition:

1. Our first event of the evening is a 35,000 meter showdown pitting Steve Prefontaine against Paula Radcliffe

Winner: WOMAN Loser: Steve Prefontaine

Score : WOMEN 1 MEN 0

2. Our second event drops down to a 200 meter matchup featuring Gary Lindgren against Carmelita Jeter (10.64 100 meter runner.)

Winner: WOMAN Loser: Gary Lindgren

Score : WOMEN 2 MEN 0

3. Third on the slate brings us to a mid-distance battle between Wilson Kipketer and Junxia Wang.

Winner: WOMAN Loser: Wilson Kipketer

Score : WOMEN 3 MEN 0

4. Up next is a 400 meter showdown pitting Paul Tergat against Jarmila Kratochvílová (1:53.28 800 meters.)

Winner: WOMAN Loser: Paul Tergat

Score : WOMEN 4 MEN 0

5. Now comes a 3,000 meter war between the "World's Fastest Human" Usain Bolt and Tirunesh Dibaba.

Winner: WOMAN Loser: Usain Bolt

Score : WOMEN 5 MEN 0

6. In the second to last event of the evening, we have an amazing 200 meter race between Haile Gebrselassie and Marita Koch (47.60 400 meters.)

Winner: WOMAN Loser: Haile Gebrselassie

Score : WOMEN 6 MEN 0

7. In the penultimate event of the historic evening, we have a 200 meter battle pitting Kenenisa Bekele against Florence Griffith-Joyner (10.49 100 meters.)

Winner: WOMAN Loser: Kenenisa Bekele

Score : WOMEN 7 MEN 0

These undeniable facts speak for themselves and prove that the relative dominance of one gender is just that -- relative -- and that the fastest human beings running are both men and women.

I am pretty sure that most of the South Eugene Highschool teams from the 70s could have beat this team of women or would have been much closer than you would think.

Speculating on the results of races that never have or will happen and asserting them as undeniable FACTS. Nice.

I am currently faster than Usain Bolt when he was 6... so...

USAIN BOLT: 0

ME: 1

Anyway, I'm just biting. I think this last post solidifies the thread as a joke meant to rile people up, as many thought.
