Why Caroline Burckle ranks #225 in Swimming
Caroline Burckle ranks 225th among Swimming athletes on GOAT Rank and 2198th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 78.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 88, Longevity 66, Honours 80, Statistics 82. Those categories are normalised against the full Swimming reference universe of 289 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 2005–2009 with 5 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2008, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic medals 1, ncaa titles 2, us national medals 3, ncaa swimmer of the year awards 1.
Immediately ahead sits Cullen Jones on 78.1, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Crissy Ahmann-Leighton on 77.9. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
