If we want to be objective and not socially correct, any ranking would need to account for the enormous difference in the number of male athletes vs. female athletes in Princeton’s history (What, 5 to 1? Or greater?) and perhaps take the complexity of the sport and position played into consideration. Is the same “athleticism” required of a rower as a two-way football player or midfielder in lacrosse? Ashleigh Johnson is an exception in her depth and world dominance of her sport and position.
