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?

they wouldn't beat me

5. Paula Radcliffe 2:15:25 marathon world record

This is stupid. Of course the fastest women in the history of the world are faster than a bunch of 16-18 year old High School Boys.

The better question is, how many college teams would actually be better than this team? Probably only 20-30 D1 schools would match this...

Solomon Haile isn't 16, 17 or 18. Even if he's 25, he and the other top five guys from last year's Footlocker can't beat "The Five" women in a meet.

I think you're right tho, the question is how many college men's teams could "The Five" beat outright. Probably most all of them in the U.S. would get taken down by these women.

The TRUTH about the fastest women in the world against the fastest high school boys:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpblUehi9Dk

Now put those same women in against Robby Andrews, who was in high school at least 5 seconds faster than Semenya.

Nobody has pointed out that when comparing last year's HS Footlocker results to these women the times used were XC compared to track times.

Lukas Verzbicas did 14:18.42 last year, not too much further behind Dibaba's world record of 14:11.15.

While quite preposterous in some regards, I have to admit I'd love to see the Pre vs Paula 35K and the McChesney vs Dibaba 5K. Can you imagine the look on Pre's face as he fades and he watches Paula pull away from him, helpless to do anything about it.

I am sure that Pre would have still beaten Paula in a 35k;you must be joking.

How about the 20 best all time male MMA fighters vs. 20 buff high school girls in a series of cage matches?

MEN: 20

WOMEN: 0

(yes I realize I'm responding to a troll)

If you do an all time best of high schools and ran a dual meet, the woman would get zero points.Sure the best woman in the world can beat ok high school boys. Make an all star team of HS runners and the woman would get swept.Off the top of my headChapaRitzRuppLindgrenDerrickall have sub 14 type 5k times. Throw in the fast 2 milers and milers and I wouldn't be suprised if I can come up with 20 guys before the first woman comes in.

WTF?? Wilson Kipketer loses the mid-distance battle? The others I agree with, but kipketer is not about to lose in 800/1500 to junxia wang.

I agree and Tergat would win his battle as well.

Do you really think that Tergat could beat the woman's 800 world record holder, Jarmila Kratochvilova, in a 400 meter race, where she would be even faster, which is what the OP proposed?

She ran a then world record 47.99 400 in 1983 I believe.

How fast could Paul Tergat run a 400 in his prime? I'm inclined to believe Kratochvilova would actually win.

I forgot to put their race distance in the big match-up list, sorry.

It's a 2,000 meter mid-distance track battle between Wilson Kipketer and Junxia Wang. Even with good pacing I don't see how Kipketer could beat her, so you have to say:

Winner: WOMAN Loser: Wilson Kipketer

I would think that Kipketer would be able to run 5:0x for 2000m. No woman can do that.

Not if Jordan Hasay was on that team.

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

Hey, ignoramus:

"Penultimate" does not mean "really, really the ultimate!"--it means "next to last." In other words, you gave us two next-to-last events.

Words have meanings. Randomly adding a syllable does not automatically strengthen a word's meaning.
