Why Joanna Atkins ranks #238 in Athletics
Joanna Atkins ranks 238th among Athletics athletes on GOAT Rank and 2182nd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 86, Longevity 74, Honours 80, Statistics 84. Those categories are normalised against the full Athletics reference universe of 308 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 2010–2017 with 8 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2014, which sets the Peak component at 86. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world relay gold medals 1, ncaa titles 2, personal best (400m) 50.5, united states national medals 2.
Immediately ahead sits Naoko Takahashi on 80.7, a gap of 1.6 points. Directly behind is Noah Ngeny on 80.6. 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.
