In my area, that’s a word for popular/materialistic girls, not athletic ones. I think OP means to find a term for girls who are athletic, not for the stereotypical girl “equivalent” (i.e., not a girl like Cher from Clueless).
Oh, interesting; that wasn’t my experience at all. There were popular/preppy girls that played sports, but there was a separate type of girl that played multiple sports and made it, like, part of their identity like the guys did. Didn’t really have a name for them, though.
I guess “jock” would work for a girl/woman, but if you said “I hooked up with a jock last night,” everyone would assume you meant a guy. So it’s not really a gender neutral term.

Okay. I was just saying in highschool, the girls that played softball or volleyball or whatever we’re called preps 🤷
