For my kid’s sport, xc/track, the coaches look at an athlete’s recent PR’s (junior year or later sophomore year) as an indication of potential. They are generally not concerned about any ups and downs, because trust me when I tell you that THEIR own college athletes also have ups and downs. It’s extremely difficult to maintain absolute consistency in athletic performance and even pro athletes have bad spells.

D definitely fell off her senior year, and no one pulled back an offer or even seemed concerned.
