Smith appeared to put her focus on long course in the year since then, and boy did that work out well, to the tune of two world records at World Championships last summer. 12. That’s a shame, because Keating dropped 1.5 seconds in her 100 last year and might’ve been in line for something really special this spring. Sticklen and Nordmann have battled in Texas’s high school system for a few years now, and both are excellent NCAA prospects. (2) A lot of the remaining swimmers were probably gearing up for one of three canceled meets – NCSAs, YMCA Nationals or U.S. Olympic Trials.

These rankings are only a snapshot in time, though, so we won’t do a lot of projecting of who would have dropped time, rather relying on times already swum, whether in short course or long course. Follow the 2021 Top 50 in the state of PA with our new database of times. Chase Travis (Previous Rank: #14) – Nation’s Capital Swim Club – Newark, DE **Verbally committed to Virginia Tech** Our first true backstroker on the list since the Foster/Lasco duo at the top, Davis is only about six tenths out of NCAA scoring range in the 100 back. NCAA recruiting churns on, and so do our yearly recruit rankings. With that out of the way, let’s get to our rankings. You’ve ranked Kaylee Williams as 2nd in the “best of the rest” section for distance free, yet she’s posted the slowest times in the 1000 and 1650 in that section. These rankings in no way mean that all of these 20 swimmers will be NCAA standouts, and they certainly don’t mean that no swimmer left off this list will make big contributions at the NCAA level.

Maurice Westmoreland, Klein Forest (Houston), Track and Field He has the top discus throw in the nation this spring with a throw of 204-6. (Check out this awesome race from history and note the difference between the Ledecky/Leah Smith style that Nordmann uses and the Manuel/Siobhan Haughey stroke you see more often in women’s freestyle). But she’s also got good potential in the 200 IM to better spread out her events. That’s going to change in a hurry if his improvement keeps up at its current rate. Maurer has a huge, 6-foot-7 frame with long arms that move a lot of water with every stroke. Backstroke and breaststroke are what really pop, though Walsh could probably use to improve her start some if she’s going to swim the 50 free often. Feehery comes from a swimming family. He proceeded to become one of the biggest names in youth swimming with a massive U.S. National Championships with some gargantuan long course time drops (from 54/1:58 in the butterflys to 52.4/1:55), and he’s already transferred those improvements over to short course. Weyant is so hard to rank. He’s an outstanding long course swimmer (2:15 in the 200 and 1:03 in the 100) with a very efficient breaststroke. He’s a tremendous relay option with free/fly/back chops in the shorter distances. Best Times: 100 breast – 52.51, 200 breast – 1:55.33, 200 IM – 1:47.61. Ohio Top 24 Honor Roll Ohio 2020-2021 Season.

Here’s her liftime-best 100 fly, though it’s more than a year old. There’s world-record-holder Regan Smith at the top, but even the depth is extraordinary. Katherine “KitKat” Zenick (Previous Rank: N/A) – North Texas Nadadores – Carroll Senior High – Southlake, TX **Verbally committed to Ohio State** But a year later, it’s looking more like a specific characteristic of this class. She’s got two details that she does at such a high level. 15. Walsh is an elite prospect in all four strokes who probably projects best as a high-end IM type.

It’s the polish and details that keep her behind Nordmann in this race (wall timing, over-swimming the first 50 a bit), but you have to believe college coaches see Sticklen as a high-ceiling prospect who can clean up a lot of those details with time. 5. 3. That type of swimmer does not usually have the best track record for actual NCAA production. Alex Walsh (Previous Rank: #2) – Nashville Aquatic Club – Harpeth Hall High School – Nashville, TN **Verbally committed to Virginia** (Lane 5, black cap). The best 500 freestyler in the class is Smith, who probably won’t be a distance swimmer at the college level. Carson Foster, easily the top recruit of the Class of 2020, is destined to make a big impact in Austin. Pearson was a rangy sprinter in our last ranks, but a drop from 54 to 52.5 in butterfly might make that her primary event. Bacon is going to be a major weapon on the front of 200 medley relays with that kind of speed, power, and aggressiveness. Best Times: 1650 free – 16:05.44, 1000 free – 9:31.84, 500 free – 4:41.71, 200 free – 1:49.38.

Here’s that unbelievable 400 IM from Weyant (lane 3, yellow cap). Best Times: 200 free – 1:45.66, 500 free – 4:46.68, 100 free – 49.24. Having already ranked this class about a year ago, we also get a clearer picture of momentum and trajectory: which recruits are continuing to drop time through their senior seasons, and which have stagnated. The top five are historically-good recruits, and you could probably argue that the top-flight, blue-chip recruits extend down even to #7 or #8. Latest Swim Meets The Swim Rankings are updated on a regular basis. He’s got mile and 500 free times that would’ve earned NCAA invites in 2019; only five swimmers in this class can say that about any of their events. Here’s why we’re going a little against our better judgement with Weyant: she already has an NCAA scoring time in the 400 IM. She also placed second in the 100-yard butterfly and was on two top-five relay teams. without losing any of the smoothness of her stroke. The way her freestyle leg looked, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Ulett become a really, really good 200 freestyler at the college level. Foster and Urlando are both NCAA-scoring level IMers already, and there’s lots of depth and upside behind them. Zenick is also 1:00.5 in long course fly, which is a nice time to be this deep in the rankings. Matt King (Previous Rank: N/A) – Bellevue Club Swim Team – Glacier Peak High School – Snohomish, WA **Verbally committed to Indiana** **Recommitted to Alabama** The 247Sports rankings are determined by our recruiting analysts after countless hours of personal observations, film evaluation and input from our network of scouts.

Here’s Stadden’s 200-meter back best from December (lane 5, black/pink cap) – she shows remarkable patience and really closes well, surging by Bacon late. He’s also got a pretty compelling 200 IM time, and his top three events fit together extremely well in the NCAA lineup. Regan Smith (Previous Rank: #1) – Riptide – Lakeville North High School – Lakeville, MN **Verbally committed to Stanford** He is a dominant IMer who is already in scoring range at … Best Times: 100 breast – 58.19, 200 breast – 2:05.87, 200 IM – 1:53.69, 400 IM – 4:07.98, 100 back – 50.88, 200 back – 1:51.42, 100 fly – 51.31, 50 free – 22.08, 100 free – 48.90, 200 free – 1:45.05.

Each of these athletes is still an extremely high-level recruit: Feeling nostalgic? Szabados is maybe the fastest riser on this list. Here’s that race, with Arens in lane 3 in the black cap. With their best times in their top 3 events, each would have scored about 18 points individually at 2019 men’s NCAAs. I chose Miami University because of the welcoming team and amazing coaches that made me feel right at home. Isabelle Stadden (Previous Rank: #4) – Aquajets Swim Team – Blaine High School – Blaine, MN **Verbally committed to Cal** Another monster of the middle distances here. New this year: this isn’t an exhaustive list, but we can rattle off a few of the athletes we studied who wound up just outside the top 20 in each event discipline. But Luca Urlando is rising fast, and we've got a #1 controversy on our hands. This feels pretty far back to have a 19.8/43.6 freestyler. Updated recruit ranks here. Bence Szabados (Previous Rank: N/A) – Chicago Wolfpack – Whitney Young High School – Chicago, IL **Verbally committed to Michigan** The backstroke drops have tailed off a little for Stadden – she cut about a half-second in the long course 100 and a tenth in the long course 200 last year, and her short course times didn’t change.

Our goal in these rankings is to reflect what college coaches look for in recruits, based on many years of conversations and coverage. Check out this awesome race from history and note the difference between the Ledecky/Leah Smith style that Nordmann uses and the Manuel/Siobhan Haughey stroke you see more often in women’s freestyle. That’s a little unorthodox for women, but is maybe a new wave of the stroke, popularized by Katie Ledecky. Last year, she hit lifetime-bests in the 50/100/200 free, 100/200 back, and 200 IM at a spring sectional meet that was canceled this year, so Rudolph very well may have ranked higher had we had a normal year of swimming. May 05th, 2019 College, College Recruiting, High School, National, News. Albiero also made huge strides in her 50 free, moving towards the top of the class there and projecting firmly as a sprint fly/free type. He was 22.2/46.3/1:40 in freestyle and 1:56 in the 200 IM as of our rankings last year. It’s not the best angle for the actual swim, but wow do you see the athleticism and power of Dobler’s start. He only dropped a couple tenths in each this year and had a similar drop in the 100 fly (49.8 to 49.6). Best Times: 200 fly – 1:43.53, 100 fly – 47.40, 100 free – 44.85, 200 free – 1:37.13, 50 free – 20.65, 500 free – 4:24.50, 200 back – 1:46.82.

That 50 free could really up his relay value down the road. Her senior year drops were mostly confined to long course. Then, Jared Anderson stopped swimming and started writing about swimming. Stay tuned for another potentially big drop this month. He’s among the best in the class in almost every event and has a wealth of options to focus on at the college level. The class is very good at backstroke, but is a little more thin in fly and breast. Best Times: 100 fly – 46.25, 200 fly – 1:45.11, 200 IM – 1:46.53, 50 free – 20.25.

In fact, she’s the fastest 100 flyer we’ve ever ranked for both junior and senior classes. Walsh’s 400 IM was 4:33 as of our original sophomore ranks, and went to 4:07.9 by the next year. Here’s her big 200 IM drop (lane 4, black cap). Sprint free looks relatively weak compared to the extreme back and breast fields, but it’s really not a bad class. There’s also a chance that we’ve simply missed a no-brainer (we’ve taken every precaution to avoid that), and if that happens, we want to make sure we correct it. Last summer, Nordmann did cut from 59/2:10 to 57.9/2:07.4 in long course butterfly, which is extremely exciting. It’s hard to find high school IMers anywhere near striking distance of NCAA scoring times. His drop from 4:16 to 4:14 is a nice one in the 500, where we don’t see many high schoolers around NCAA scoring range. His long course times are eye-popping: 53.9/1:58.9 in butterfly, 1:49, 3:51 and 50.6 in freestyle. He’s also taken about a second and a half off his 200 free and is getting into big league territory there. Chaney has pretty consistently been great on relays, which is a big boost in the college format. He’s within hundredths of NCAA invite level in the 200 and within tenths in the 500. Kjellberg owns career-best times that would make him the top gun for the Aggies in a handful of events, as he boasts short-course marks of 22.70 (50 free), 49.10 (100 free) and 55.0 (100 butterfly). Carrozza was also 45.2 and 1:37.0 in freestyle at this time last year, showing marked improvement there. So far over his junior year, Lasco has improved his freestyles, but his calling-card backstrokes have stalled, as have his IMs. Foster is far from peaked, either: he dropped a ton of time since our last ranks, when he was 3:44/1:43 in the IMs. Here’s the semifinals of that race (lane 3, black cap), which show Parker’s strength and how well she keeps her fingertips down and elbow high from the top of the stroke to the bottom, moving a lot of water with her arm catch. ... 1 thing to know about every team in the women's top 16. American Energy breaststroker Samuel Hart has committed to RIT in the class of 2025. Last year, we called it a “spirited battle” for the #1 rank, and though the names have changed, that holds true this year. It’s hard to say if he projects better as a true distance man or a mid-range 100/200/500 type. Best Times: 200 fly – 1:53.62, 200 free – 1:43.62, 100 fly – 52.00, 100 back – 53.58, 200 IM – 1:58.03, 100 free – 49.05, 50 free – 22.89. Oliva has pretty interesting range – a 200 freestyler who can swim all the way up to the mile with some of the better prospects in the class. Archive photo via Jack Spitser/Spitser Photography. Atkinson is very similar to Hetrick – a great backstroke prospect in this deep backstroke class. Swimming might be sick of him, though. Headquarters. Best Times: 100 fly – 52.53, 50 free – 22.30, 100 free – 48.81, 200 free – 1:49.45.

Alex Walsh, Harpeth Hall (Nashville, Tenn.), girls swimming Ranked No. Bacon is all power – she’s got a tiny bit more bounce to her stroke than Smith does, but that’s a decent tradeoff for how high she can crank her arm turnover. Topalof will bring to St. Thomas 100/200 back times that would have scored in their respective A finals at the 2020 Summit League Championships. The 500 free is becoming a great event for Maurer, with a drop of six seconds since last spring. 6. Kaitlyn Dobler (Previous Rank: #10) – The Dolphins Portland Swimming – Aloha High School – Aloha, OR **Verbally committed to USC** Then, Jared Anderson stopped swimming and started writing about swimming. This has been one unreal class to follow up the recruiting pipeline. 1. ), or who had their high school seasons canceled (most notably California).

Lillie Nordmann (Previous Rank: #6) – Magnolia Aquatic Club – The Woodlands High School – The Woodlands, TX **Verbally committed to Stanford** 5. His 200/500 free and 200 IM haven’t improved since spring 2018, though, so he’ll need a bit of a breakthrough somewhere to move back up in the class. At the 2020 Washington Metro Prep League Championships, she swam the 100 breast, taking 28th overall. Best Times: 1650 free – 14:51.54, 1000 free – 8:55.33, 500 free – 4:14.61, 200 free – 1:35.13, 400 IM – 3:47.43, 200 back – 1:45.73, 200 fly – 1:47.12, 100 free – 44.95. (Lane 5, white cap). Doesn’t seem to be much need for video analysis here to justify a #1 ranking, so just enjoy this 200-meter back from Worlds, and notice how high Smith is able to turn up her arm tempo (and maintain it!) This is perhaps the best recruiting class we've ever ranked, with instant-impact swimmers in back, breast and fly. That’s a very valuable event at the college level, showing a lot of endurance but also relay value, even if Nordmann focuses mainly on fly in college.
