What this means for Merin
D2/D3 Realistic recruit, D1 Mid-Major ceiling.
Recruiting window is active. Your optimistic ceiling projects to D1 Mid-Major territory through college junior year. The meaningful gap between Current and Ceiling reflects college-years upside coaches should weigh in their evaluation — particularly if biological maturation is still ongoing.
Maturity context: Data flags continued improvement well past age 15 — bring this trajectory to recruiting visits as part of the evaluation story.
What time drops unlock D1 Mid-Major
Each row shows the time required in that event alone to push SR Rating Current from 706 to 750, holding the other three events fixed. Only physiologically reachable drops (≤15% per event) are shown. In practice swimmers improve across multiple events at once, so real progress will lift faster than these single-event deltas suggest.
