Re: A guys v. girls sports debate
In most team sports, a pro or national women's team is probably the equivalent to the type of high school team described by the OP.
In individual sports, women fare a bit better but the gap is still wide. For individual sports, the typical world class woman is about the equivalent of a middle of the road D-I athlete. I think this holds pretty much across the board whether it's track, tennis, weightlifting, wrestling, or whatever. In team sports, I think the disparities in size, strength, power, and general aggressiveness are magnified.
