That could be the basis for one comparison. Or you could go to any weekend road race and watch how many men are beaten by the top woman finisher.
Additionally, my question assumed Vlad was more representative of "average" than a D1 male athlete who qualified for the NCAA Track and Field Championship.
Personally, I was an above average runner in college with a small scholarship and could average sub 5 minute miles. When I was at 3rd Ranger Battalion there were two men out of approximately 600 who could out run me. I couldn't beat the top female finishers in the women's 5 or 10K. The average Ranger who is already an above average runner couldn't beat the top female finishers. Vlad's comment the average male athlete could destroy the top female finishers in the sports listed is so based in ignorance it makes me chuckle.
Off topic: Check out trak fitness. I just found out about them. They may have some products you might be interested in if you don't already know about them.
