What this means for Sophie

D1 Mid-Major recruit, D1 Power 4 ceiling.

Recruiting window is active. Your optimistic ceiling projects to D1 Power 4 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 Power 4

Each row shows the time required in that event alone to push SR Rating Current from 838 to 950, 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.
