What this means for Matt
D2/D3 Realistic recruit, peak window.
This is the recruiting window. Coaches are evaluating times within ~6 months of where you sit today. The College Ceiling range (730–1055) shows the projected upside through college junior year — useful for "where will I be when it counts most" conversations.
What time drops unlock D1 Mid-Major
Each row shows the time required in that event alone to push SR Rating Current from 730 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.
