I think I would move Yvette Williams to 1 and put Sarah Ulmer ahead of Susan Devoy.
This is a pdm original:
Tiger Woods strayed from the fairway and went out of bounds but you could never say he was in the rough.
pdm – since you’ve raised that issue Quote Unquote has 10 more Tiger jokes:

What a stunningly superficial set of top 5 Sandra Barwick, Melissa Moon, Erin Baker any member of the black Ferns, apparently womens sport didn’t occur pre 1985 (yes Yvette Williams etc) and only occurs at olympics
Ian: Susan Devoy was a world record holder several times but I don’t think she was an Olympian.
Yes, Erin Baker should be there, and maybe some netballers?
I would probably try to find a space for Eve Rimmer who overcame a severe disability to bridge the gap between special olympics and the real mccoy with her efforts in archery.
I found her sheer bloody minded attitude and success truly inspirational.
However if five is the cutoff then your list is pretty close to the mark.
Only two netballers in contention I think – Lois Muir and Joan Harnett.
