Hi, I copied and pasted from 2 HyTek Meet Manager Result PDFs, it looks like it got the main structure, but seems to be missing athletes and results.

If you've ever spent an entire day at a summer swim meet, you know how important it is to have a comfortable place to sit. Whether you're a swimmer waiting between events or a parent cheering from the sidelines, hours on hot pavement, bleachers, or grass can quickly become uncomfortable. That's where the FAIR WIND Portable Canopy Camping Chair comes in. Designed with comfort, portability, and sun protection in mind, it's a practical companion for long days at the pool. ☀️ Stay Cool in the Sun One of the biggest advantages of this chair is its adjustable canopy, which provides UPF 50+ sun protection. Instead of sitting in direct sunlight all day, you can enjoy extra shade while watching races, taking breaks, or relaxing between events. The extended front curtain also offers additional coverage, helping block even more sunlight during the hottest parts of the day. 💺 Built for All-Day Comfort Long meets often mean sitting for several hours, so comfort matters. This chair features: A 22.4-inch wide oversized seat Durable double-layer 600D Oxford fabric A breathable mesh back that helps improve airflow on hot days The roomy design makes it comfortable for a wide range of adults, whether you're spending one hour or an entire day at the pool. 💪 Heavy-Duty Construction Built with a reinforced high-tensile steel frame, this chair supports up to 380 pounds, giving it a sturdy feel on both pavement and grass. The reinforced cross-bracing and four stabilizing legs help keep the chair stable on different outdoor surfaces, making it a dependable option for swim meets, sporting events, camping trips, and more. 🎒 Easy to Carry One feature that really stands out is the portability. Unlike many folding chairs that require a separate carrying bag, this chair folds into its own backpack-style design with padded shoulder straps. At only 10 pounds, it's easy to carry from your car to the pool without taking up one of your hands. 🥤 Convenient Storage This chair also includes thoughtful storage features: Large insulated cup holder to help keep drinks cold Side pocket for your phone, keys, sunscreen, or snacks Everything stays within easy reach while you enjoy the meet. 🌳 More Than Just Swim Meets Although it's an excellent choice for swim meets, this chair is also great for: Beach trips Camping Fishing Soccer tournaments Baseball games Tailgating Backyard gatherings Park picnics The built-in shade makes it especially useful during any outdoor event where you'll be sitting in the sun for extended periods.

Powered by SwimStandards.com | Rankings based on power points earned from times entered June 18–24, 2026 The long course season is in full swing, and this week's power points leaderboard reflects some of the strongest age-group performances of the summer so far. From 9-year-olds lighting up the butterfly lanes to 16-year-olds posting elite IM times, Edition 8 covers the top-ranked swims across all four age divisions for the week of June 18–24. Rankings are based on age-adjusted power points, with one swim per swimmer counted per age group and gender division. 10 & Under Girls Rank Swimmer Age Club Event Time Pts 1 Emma Liu 9 KATY 50 Fly 33.69 970 2 Iris Liu 9 PLS 50 Back 36.94 952 3 Stevarra White 9 RMSCM 50 Fly 34.96 900 Nine-year-old Emma Liu (KATY/GU) leads the 10&U Girls division this week with a 33.69 in the 50 Fly — 970 power points that tops her age group by a comfortable margin. Iris Liu (PLS/PC) earned second with a 36.94 in the 50 Back (952 pts), while Stevarra White (RMSCM/PV) rounds out the podium with a 34.96 in the 50 Fly (900 pts). All three are 9 years old, which makes this a notably competitive week at the younger end of the division. Boys Rank Swimmer Age Club Event Time Pts 1 Roman Kuleshov 9 SAS 100 Fly 1:14.60 1037 2 Robert Legg 10 PLS 400 Free 4:41.75 1034 3 Isen Wolfe 10 SPA 400 Free 4:45.04 1009 The 10&U Boys board is tight at the top. Roman Kuleshov (SAS/FG), just 9 years old, takes the top spot with a 1:14.60 in the 100 Fly — 1,037 points that edges out Robert Legg (PLS/PC) by just three points. Legg posted a 4:41.75 in the 400 Free for 1,034 points, with Isen Wolfe (SPA/FL) just behind at 4:45.04 in the same event (1,009 pts). Power points are age-adjusted, so Kuleshov's score as a 9-year-old reflects the relative weight of that performance for his age. 11–12 Girls Rank Swimmer Age Club Event Time Pts 1 Grace Wang 11 NOVA 200 Fly 2:26.13 1023 2 Scarlet Martin 12 FA 1500 Free 18:19.23 913 3 Alex Jackson 11 FINS 50 Back 33.02 904 Grace Wang (NOVA/SCS) puts up the week's standout performance in the 11–12 Girls division — a 2:26.13 in the 200 Fly earns her 1,023 points and the top ranking. That's a substantial lead over second place, where Scarlet Martin (FA/IN) checks in with an 18:19.23 in the 1500 Free (913 pts). Alex Jackson (FINS/LA) rounds out the group with a 33.02 in the 50 Back for 904 points. Boys Rank Swimmer Age Club Event Time Pts 1 Caleb Goodavish 12 VAST 100 Free 54.65 1032 2 Jeffrey Qian 11 AGUA 100 Breast 1:16.49 1020 3 Michael Li 11 LAK 100 Back 1:08.56 989 Caleb Goodavish (VAST/WI) leads the 11–12 Boys with a 54.65 in the 100 Free — a strong result for a 12-year-old that earns 1,032 points. Jeffrey Qian (AGUA/MR) is right on his heels with a 1:16.49 in the 100 Breast (1,020 pts), and Michael Li (LAK/KY) posts 989 points via a 1:08.56 in the 100 Back. Three different events, three different clubs — a well-rounded top three this week. 13–14 Girls Rank Swimmer Age Club Event Time Pts 1 Finola Whelehan 14 TAC 100 Fly 59.65 990 2 Autumn McIntosh 13 BZRK 800 Free 8:51.25 962 3 Fernanda Garcia Caldera 14 MEX 100 Back 1:03.69 950 Finola Whelehan (TAC/NC) tops the 13–14 Girls this week with a 59.65 in the 100 Fly — breaking into sub-minute territory at age 14 for 990 points. Autumn McIntosh (BZRK/AR) follows with an 8:51.25 in the 800 Free (962 pts). Fernanda Garcia Caldera (MEX/SCS) rounds out the top three with a 1:03.69 in the 100 Back (950 pts). Boys Rank Swimmer Age Club Event Time Pts 1 Jett Hatchard 13 OA 100 Back 58.81 1092 2 Janiel Espinosa 13 SF 200 Fly 2:12.27 976 2 Raymond Jew 14 AZOT 200 Breast 2:22.80 976 Jett Hatchard (OA/UT) leads the 13–14 Boys with a 58.81 in the 100 Back — 1,092 points at age 13, the highest score in the division by a wide margin. Behind him, Janiel Espinosa (SF/FG) and Raymond Jew (AZOT/SCS) are deadlocked at 976 points, sharing the second-place ranking. Espinosa gets there via a 2:12.27 in the 200 Fly; Jew matches him with a 2:22.80 in the 200 Breast — two very different events, identical scores. 15–18 Girls Rank Swimmer Age Club Event Time Pts 1 Rylee Erisman 17 LAKR 200 Back 2:07.00 1046 2 Liberty Clark 18 IU 100 Free 53.51 1031 3 Charlotte Crush 18 LAK 100 Back 1:00.24 1025 Rylee Erisman (LAKR/FL) leads the 15–18 Girls with a 2:07.00 in the 200 Back — 1,046 points at age 17. Liberty Clark (IU/IN) checks in at second with a 53.51 in the 100 Free (1,031 pts), while Charlotte Crush (LAK/KY) rounds out the top three with a 1:00.24 in the 100 Back (1,025 pts). All three performances crack the 1,000-point threshold, reflecting a strong week for the oldest girls' division. Boys Rank Swimmer Age Club Event Time Pts 1 Wilson York 16 LAK 200 Breast 2:13.58 1038 2 Edmond Reynolds 15 UN 100 Breast 1:03.18 1032 3 Luka Mijatovic 17 PLS 400 Free 3:46.08 1023 Wilson York (LAK/KY) leads the 15–18 Boys with a 2:13.58 in the 200 Breast for 1,038 points. Edmond Reynolds (UN-ST) follows with a 1:03.18 in the 100 Breast (1,032 pts) — Reynolds is unattached (ST), so no club link is provided. Luka Mijatovic (PLS/PC) rounds out the top three with a 3:46.08 in the 400 Free (1,023 pts). The spread across the group is just 15 points — the tightest top-three margin among all Boys divisions this week. Week at a Glance A few storylines worth tracking as the summer continues: Jett Hatchard (OA/UT) posted the highest single point total among 13–14 Boys — 1,092 points on a 58.81 in the 100 Back is a benchmark performance for a 13-year-old. Grace Wang (NOVA/SCS) leads her division by over 100 points with a 2:26.13 in the 200 Fly, the largest margin of any girls' age group this week. Janiel Espinosa and Raymond Jew share second place in the 13–14 Boys at exactly 976 points — reached through entirely different events. PLS (PC) places swimmers in three separate divisions this week: 10&U Girls, 10&U Boys, and 15–18 Boys. The 15–18 Boys top three is separated by just 15 points — the tightest spread across all eight divisions this week. Data covers performances added to the SwimStandards database during the week of June 18–24, 2026. Rankings reflect age-adjusted power points; one swim per swimmer per age/gender division.

Powered by SwimStandards.com | Rankings based on power points earned from times entered June 11–17, 2026 The long course meters season is heating up across the country, and the latest leaderboard snapshot — covering performances logged June 11–17 — offers an early look at who's making noise in the pool this summer. Rankings are determined by age-adjusted power points, meaning the scores reward performance relative to age, not just raw speed. Every swimmer listed here posted an AAAA-level time, and all eight age-group winners crossed the 1,000-point threshold. 10 & Under Girls Rank Swimmer Age Club Event Time Points 1 Alexa Jenner 9 PSC 100 Fly 1:13.62 1058 2 Kaila Perry 9 CCA 50 Fly 33.29 992 3 Kensington Jones 9 PASA 100 Back 1:18.18 990 Nine-year-old Alexa Jenner of PSC (Arizona) leads the 10&U girls with a 1:13.62 in the 100 fly worth 1,058 points. All three top performers are 9-year-olds, and notably all three chose butterfly or backstroke events — a sign of technical development at the younger end of age group swimming. Kensington Jones of PASA sits third on 990 points, just two points behind Kaila Perry of CCA. Boys Rank Swimmer Age Club Event Time Points 1 Gabriel Brown 10 FAST 400 Free 4:36.50 1076 2 Luke Gamino 9 TCA 100 Fly 1:13.78 1058 3 David Li 10 BREA 100 Fly 1:07.40 1050 Gabriel Brown of FAST (Indiana) tops the 10&U boys with a 4:36.50 in the 400 free — an event that rewards both aerobic development and pacing discipline at this age. His 1,076 points lead the division. Nine-year-old Luke Gamino of TCA matches Alexa Jenner's points total (1,058) across genders with his 100 fly, while David Li of BREA posts a notably faster time (1:07.40) for 1,050 points — a reminder that older age within a bracket doesn't always translate to a higher point score. 11–12 Girls Rank Swimmer Age Club Event Time Points 1 Annabelle Hayes 11 NOVA 1500 Free 18:07.96 1098 2 Grace Wang 11 NOVA 200 Back 2:27.40 995 3 Yipeng Wang 11 LAC 50 Breast 35.72 933 Annabelle Hayes of NOVA earns the highest point total of any 11–12 girl this week with an 18:07.96 in the 1500 free — good for 1,098 points. Teammate Grace Wang slots in second at 995 points via the 200 back, making NOVA of Southern California the only club to place two swimmers in the same age/gender group this week. Yipeng Wang of LAC (North Texas) rounds out the group with a 35.72 in the 50 breast. Boys Rank Swimmer Age Club Event Time Points 1 Francis Hei 11 BREA 1500 Free 18:24.70 1078 2 Zakhar Rudenko 11 NOVA 100 Back 1:07.19 1032 3 James Davis 11 FAST 1500 Free 19:08.35 996 The 11–12 boys leaderboard is led by two 11-year-olds from Southern California. Francis Hei of BREA tops the group at 1,078 points with an 18:24.70 in the 1500 free, while Zakhar Rudenko of NOVA follows at 1,032 via the 100 back. James Davis of FAST rounds out the group with a 19:08.35 in the 1500 free, giving Indiana another top-three finish this week after Gabriel Brown's 10&U win. The 1500 free showing a strong footprint across both genders in this age group speaks to the event's power-points upside for developing distance swimmers. 13–14 Girls Rank Swimmer Age Club Event Time Points 1 Kate Allen 13 CSC 200 IM 2:16.54 1008 2 Lauren Lonsdale 14 DART 100 Back 1:02.84 983 3 Finola Whelehan 14 TAC 200 Free 2:01.33 977 Thirteen-year-old Kate Allen of CSC leads the 13–14 girls with a 2:16.54 in the 200 IM for 1,008 points — a strong early-season mark. Lauren Lonsdale of DART (Southern Nevada) is close behind at 983 points in the 100 back, and Finola Whelehan of TAC posts 977 points in the 200 free with a 2:01.33. The separation between first and third is just 31 points — a tight grouping by any measure. Boys Rank Swimmer Age Club Event Time Points 1 Elliot Leasure 14 RSC 100 Back 55.86 1110 2 Sahiel Pai 13 NOVA 100 Breast 1:06.90 1054 3 Daniel Bunge 13 NOVA 200 IM 2:11.04 1042 The highest single-week point total across all age groups and genders belongs to Elliot Leasure of RSC (Minnesota), whose 55.86 in the 100 back earns 1,110 points. That's a significant performance for a 14-year-old at the start of the long course season. Behind him, Sahiel Pai (1,054) and Daniel Bunge (1,042) both represent NOVA — notably, different club programs sharing the same name: Pai swims for NOVA of Southern California, while Bunge is with NOVA of Virginia. 15–18 Girls Rank Swimmer Age Club Event Time Points 1 Rylee Erisman 17 LAKR 200 Free 1:57.35 1008 2 Reina Liu 16 TAC 100 Back 1:00.70 1006 3 Audrey Derivaux 16 JW 200 IM 2:13.08 991 The 15–18 girls leaderboard is nearly a dead heat at the top. Rylee Erisman of LAKR (Florida) leads with 1,008 points on a 1:57.35 in the 200 free, while Reina Liu of TAC is just two points back at 1,006 with a 1:00.70 in the 100 back. Audrey Derivaux of JW (Metropolitan/Mid-Atlantic) rounds out the group at 991 points in the 200 IM.

Jason Van Olst of WAVE also swam the 200 IM for second at 989 points (2:03.81), and Gavin Keogh, competing unattached in North Carolina, earns third with a 54.91 in the 100 back.

One of the most frustrating challenges during long swim sessions is muscle cramping. Whether it happens in your calves, feet, hamstrings, or even your toes, a cramp can quickly disrupt training and turn an enjoyable swim into a difficult one. While there is no single cause, most endurance swimmers encounter cramps due to a combination of muscle fatigue, hydration issues, and electrolyte loss. Many athletes focus on drinking enough water before and during training, but hydration is only part of the equation. Electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and magnesium play an important role in muscle function. During longer sessions, especially in warm environments or open-water events, swimmers can lose significant amounts of these minerals through sweat without realizing it. Over the years, I've found that a few simple habits help reduce the likelihood of cramps: Begin workouts properly hydrated. Avoid starting long sessions at an unsustainable pace. Maintain consistent nutrition before longer swims. Replace electrolytes during periods of heavy training. Pay attention to recovery and sleep quality. For sessions lasting more than an hour or during periods of increased training volume, I often include an electrolyte supplement rather than relying on water alone. Recently, I've been using NutraHarmony Electrolytes, which provide sodium, potassium, magnesium, and other essential minerals in a convenient sugar-free formula. You can find more information here: https://nutra-harmony.com/electrolyte Of course, no supplement can completely eliminate cramps if training load, pacing, or recovery are neglected. However, maintaining proper electrolyte balance is one of the simplest adjustments many swimmers can make to support performance and recovery. I'm curious what strategies other endurance swimmers use. Have you noticed certain conditions, training intensities, or nutrition habits that make cramps more or less likely during your swims?

The outdoor season is underway, and this week's long course meter leaderboard features standout performances across all eight age group divisions. Rankings are based on power points earned by swimmers with times logged in the SwimStandards database during the window of June 4–10, 2026. One swim per swimmer per division is counted, with the highest power point total determining placement. 10 & Under Girls The 10&U girls leaderboard opens with a pair of nine-year-olds trading back-to-back backstroke performances. Emmilyn Hamilton of RAYS takes the top spot with an AAA-standard 38.01 in the 50 back (891 points), edging Avery Norman of FMC, whose 38.25 earned 877 points at the same standard. Rounding out the group, ten-year-old Lauren Lucero of SPAR contributed an AAAA-standard 38.98 in the 50 breast to also land at 877 points — a tie at third with Norman in raw points, though Norman holds the rank by tiebreaker.

That's a notable mark for a ten-year-old in long course. Behind him, a pair of nine-year-olds — Aurelius Lien of SCSC (5:23.87, 926 pts) and Jaeden Lin of LIAC (5:24.79, 920 pts) — both earned AAA standards in the same event, separated by less than a second.

Sarah Chiang, 11, of PDST leads the group with a 19:10.59 (958 points). Morgan Huang, also 11, from LIAC — which appears twice in this week's overall results — comes in at 19:30.12 for 916 points. Twelve-year-old Ashley Lotano of JDST rounds out the group with a 29.22 in the 50 fly, good for an AAAA standard and 906 points.

Data via Swim Standards · Long Course Meters · May 2026 The long course season is underway, and May did not disappoint. From elite junior invitationals to TYR Pro Swim Series action in Sacramento, swimmers across every age group posted standout performances over the course of the month. Swim Standards tracked the top six power-point scores in each event across both the girls' and boys' fields, and the results paint a picture of a LCM season that arrived in full force. A handful of names put together performances across multiple events, several athletes broke the 1,000-point threshold that marks truly elite age-group swims, and a few very young swimmers logged scores that would turn heads in any age group. Here's how May shook out, event by event. Girls' Top Performances 100 Backstroke The girls' 100 back produced two 1,000-point swims to lead the month. Callie Yue of Nation's Capital Swim Club (PV) logged a 1:17.54 at the 2026 Long Course Spring Invitational for 1,006 points — a remarkable score for a 9-year-old. Gabriella Brito of Beach Cities Swimming (SCS) joined her above the 1,000-point mark with a 1:01.28 at the NOVA-Speedo Grand Challenge for 1,001 points. # Swimmer Age Club Time Pts 1 Callie Yue 9 NCAP 1:17.54 1,006 2 Gabriella Brito 15 CITI 1:01.28 1,001 3 Ellie Clarke 16 CSC 1:01.39 978 4 Kennedy Masten 13 MACH 1:04.31 972 5 Reina Liu 16 TAC 1:01.54 971 6 Maddie Dill 9 HSC 1:20.15 938 100 Breaststroke A 9-year-old leads the board here as well.

Mikayla Tan of San Ramon Valley Aquatics came in a point behind at 980 with a 1:08.16 at the TYR Pro Swim Series in Sacramento. The event also featured international flair — Keahne Bergin and Coco Mcgrath of Swimming Australia both appeared via the XIV 2026 Oceania Swimming Championships. # Swimmer Age Club Time Pts 1 Iris Liu 9 PLS 1:28.03 981 2 Mikayla Tan 16 SRVA 1:08.16 980 3 Quinn Schultz 9 REV 1:28.91 963 4 Keahne Bergin 17 AUS 1:08.82 948 5 Adalene Robillard 18 ALTO 1:09.08 940 6 Coco Mcgrath 16 AUS 1:09.72 930 100 Butterfly Gabriella Brito makes her second appearance on the leaderboards in May, this time in the 100 fly.

The long course season continues to build steam — and a handful of familiar names are making this series their own. Swim Standards' weekly power points board covers performances entered between May 28 – June 3, 2026, drawn from 135,000+ source rows across more than 26,000 unique swimmer entries — the largest pool of the series so far. Rankings are age-adjusted, event-agnostic, and limited to one swim per swimmer per division. Here's the full breakdown. 10 & Under Girls Nine-year-old Iris Liu (PLS/PC) opens the week with a bang — a 38.79 in the 50 breast for 1,052 points, the highest score in the 10&U girls group and one of the week's most impressive age-adjusted marks across any division. Maddie Dill (HSC/IL) follows at 996 points with a 36.20 in the 50 back, and Jacqueline Kuo (CDST/PC) — making her second appearance in this series after a 50 back in Edition 01 — returns in a different event, clocking a 31.32 in the 50 free for 928 points.

Liu's 1,052 in the 50 breast at age nine is the highest 10&U girls score of the entire series to date. Boys Ten-year-old Robert Legg (PLS/PC) leads the boys with a 4:41.01 in the 400/500 free for 1,040 points — a composed distance effort that earns him the top spot.

Annabelle Hayes (NOVA/SCS) flips the script on her Edition 01 teammate rivalry, this time taking the top spot with a 988-point 200 back in 2:27.95. Grace Wang (NOVA/SCS) follows at 964 points with a 2:28.66 in the 200 IM — the pair have now appeared on all four editions of this series. Alex Jackson (FINS/LA) breaks up the NOVA sweep, earning third with a 932-point 50 back in 32.64. All three earned AAAA.

In Edition 01, Wang led Hayes by 0.42 seconds in the 200 back. Here, Hayes turns the tables. This is one of the more compelling age-group rivalries the data has surfaced all season. Boys The 11-12 boys top three all cleared 1,000 points — the strongest collective showing in this age group so far. Scotty Thieman (PAAC/MA) leads with a 1,002-point 200 fly in 2:31.88, followed by Daniel Radchenko Avondo (NTRO/ST) at exactly 1,000 points with a 19:06.14 in the 1500/1650 free — a remarkable endurance swim for an 11-year-old.

She led Edition 03 with a 200 IM; the versatility across strokes is worth noting. Grace Gannon (FAST/IN) returns as well, earning 918 points with a 2:21.44 in the 200 IM, and Ella Legg (PLS/PC) makes her series debut with a 916-point 200 fly in 2:15.82. All three earned AAAA.

PLS/PC also continues to impress: Robert Legg (10&U boys), Iris Liu (10&U girls), and Ella Legg (13-14 girls) all represent the club this week. Boys The 13-14 boys group delivered one of the week's most striking individual performances. Thirteen-year-old Ayden Tan (SRVA/PC) posts a 2:09.74 in the 200 IM for 1,069 points — the highest score across all age groups and genders this week by a comfortable margin. Jacob Lee (ROSE/SCS) follows at 1,021 points with a 1:07.91 in the 100 breast, and Sahiel Pai (NOVA/SCS) — who appeared in Edition 01 — is back with a 1:08.03 in the same event for 1,017 points.

Tan's 2:09.74 in the 200 IM long course is a legitimately elite age-group mark. 15–18 Girls Fifteen-year-old Gabriella Brito (BCA/SCS) leads the 15-18 girls with a 1:01.28 in the 100 back for 1,001 points — clearing four figures at the youngest age in the group. Mikayla Tan (SRVA/PC) returns for her second consecutive week on the leaderboard, this time in the 100 breast with a 1:08.16 for 980 points. Adalene Robillard (ALTO/PC) rounds out the group with a 940-point 100 breast in 1:09.08. All three earned AAAA.

A strong week for that program. Boys Luka Mijatovic (PLS/PC) becomes the first swimmer in this series to top the same age/gender group in back-to-back weeks. Last edition, he won the 15-18 boys on a 3:45.20 400/500 free; this week he returns with a 1,037-point 800/1000 free in 7:47.08 — distance freestyle dominance across consecutive editions. Shareef Elaydi (SCSC/PC) earns second with a 992-point 100 breast in 1:03.06, and Edmond Reynolds (UN/ST) takes third with a 989-point 100 breast in 1:04.42. All three earned AAAA.

LCM (long course meters). One swim per swimmer per age/gender group; top 3 per division shown. Meets may have been held prior to the entry window.

Memorial Day weekend brought a surge of long course action — and some familiar names returned to the leaderboard alongside fresh faces. Swim Standards' weekly power points board covers performances entered between May 21–27, 2026, pulling from 110,000+ source rows across nearly 21,000 unique swimmer entries. Rankings are age-adjusted, event-agnostic, and limited to one swim per swimmer per division. Here's the full breakdown. 10 & Under Girls Nine-year-old Callie Yue (NCAP/PV) opens the week's leaderboard with a statement swim — a 1:17.54 in the 100 back for 1,006 points, clearing the 1,000-point threshold that's rare at any age, let alone 10&U. Kensington Jones (PASA/PC) follows at 928 points with a 5:21.21 in the 400/500 free, and Bailey Harrell (STAR/FL) rounds out the trio with an 887-point 50 back in 38.08 — the only AAA standard in the group.

The nine-year-old who topped the Edition 02 boys 10&U board with a 32.92 in the 50 fly returns this week with a 32.79 in the same event for 1,028 points, edging his own previous mark. Austin Ren (KATY/GU) pushes him all the way with a 33.17 for 1,005 points — both nine-year-olds, both AAAA in the same event. Zhecheng Zhu (NOVA/SCS) makes his second appearance on this series' leaderboard, this time as a 10-year-old, slotting third with a 909-point 200 IM in 2:39.50.

Two nine-year-olds both clearing 1,000 points in the same event in the same week is a remarkable coincidence — and a sign of how competitive this age group has become. 11–12 Girls NOVA/SCS is at it again. Grace Wang and Annabelle Hayes — who went 1-2 in the 200 back during Edition 01 — are back on the leaderboard, this time in different events. Wang leads with a 1,006-point 400 IM in 5:17.32, and Hayes follows at 992 points with a 9:41.17 in the 800/1000 free. Sarah Chiang (PDST/PN) completes a distance-heavy podium with an 18:59.33 in the 1500/1650 free for 982 points. All three earned AAAA and all three are 11 years old.

The NOVA 11-12 girls group is quietly becoming one of the most consistent training groups in the country by this metric. Boys Eleven-year-old Jeffrey Qian (AGUA/MR) leads the 11-12 boys with a 36.10 in the 50 breast for 954 points — notably, the only AAA standard among the group's top three this week. Hunter Gumbayan (SRA/FL) follows at 937 points with a 5:05.17 in the 400 IM, and Zachary Ruhnke (M3A/IL) takes third with a 5:34.25 in the same event for 919 points.

Madison Suchecki (SSC/MA) earns second with a 902-point 200 breast in 2:35.72, and Elaine Luisetti (CCA/SN) takes third with a 900-point 400/500 free in 4:20.69. All three are 14 and all earned AAAA.

Ethan Reines (SCAR/NJ) follows at 973 points with an 8:23.11 in the 800/1000 free, and Janiel Espinosa (SF/FG) takes third with a 948-point 200 fly in 2:13.86. All three earned AAAA.

Hatchard's 1,028 points ties Gamino for the week's highest overall score — set in a completely different event and age group. 15–18 Girls Mikayla Tan (SRVA/PC) leads the 15-18 girls with a 995-point 200 breast in 2:26.35 — a sharp long course breaststroke performance at 16. Lucy Velte (EKC/MV) follows at 936 points with a sub-60 100 fly, clocking 59.84, and Emma Hussein (CANY/SCS) rounds out the group with a 935-point 200 IM in 2:16.06. All three earned AAAA — and the top three scores are notably tighter than in previous editions.

Luka Mijatovic (PLS/PC) tops the overall weekly board with 1,033 points on a 3:45.20 in the 400/500 free — a fast, mature distance freestyle at 17. Grant Bellin (KING/PN) is close behind at 1,021 points with a 56.51 in the 100 back, and Andrew Eubanks (TDPS/OR) takes third with a 1,010-point 200 breast in 2:12.59. All three earned AAAA.

A 56.51 in the 100 back long course at that age is a significant data point. Week at a Glance Highest score overall: Luka Mijatovic (15-18 Boys) — 1,033 pts Joint-highest age-group score: Luke Gamino and Jett Hatchard both hit 1,028 pts in entirely different events and age groups Returning names: Gamino (10&U Boys), Grace Wang, Annabelle Hayes (11-12 Girls), and Zhecheng Zhu (10&U Boys) all appeared in Edition 01 and are back this week NOVA watch: Grace Wang and Annabelle Hayes have now appeared on all three editions of this leaderboard — a consistency that's hard to ignore 1,000-point club this week: Callie Yue, Luke Gamino, Austin Ren, Grace Wang, Jett Hatchard, Luka Mijatovic, Grant Bellin, Andrew Eubanks (8 swimmers) Event diversity: Distance freestyle, IM, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly all featured across the podiums — no single event dominated Standards: 21 of 24 swimmers earned AAAA; Jeffrey Qian, Bailey Harrell, and Zachary Ruhnke posted AAA Rankings based on power points from performances entered into Swim Standards between May 21–27, 2026.

Each week, the top five age group performances are ranked by power points — a cross-event scoring metric that normalizes times across strokes and distances. One swim per swimmer, best power points entry kept. Here's who made the board this week across all eight divisions, long course meters. 10 & Under Girls Nine-year-old Kaila Perry of CCA leads the 10&U girls with a 40.25 in the 50 breaststroke, earning 986 power points at the AAAA standard. Right on her heels is fellow 9-year-old Annie Ma (PAC), whose 33.44 in the 50 fly checked in at 984 points — a two-point margin that makes this one of the tightest top-two gaps on the board this week. Quinn Schultz (REV) slots into third with a 1:29.17 in the 100 breast (958 pts), followed by Iris Liu (PLS) in fourth with a 2:49.06 in the 200 IM (951 pts). Sophia Lee-Park (CS) rounds out the five with a 37.67 in the 50 back — the only entry in this division to come in at the AAA standard (910 pts).

William Mager (GBSC) posts a 1:19.91 in the 100 fly at the AAA standard (905 pts), and Nazar Antonyshyn (CBGC) closes the group with a 32.51 in the 50 fly (889 pts, AAAA).

Finola Whelehan (TAC) sits second overall with a 2:04.88 in the 200 free (891 pts), and Grace Khelan (FIJ) closes the group with a 26.60 in the 50 free (883 pts). All five at AAAA.

Kayda Geyer (MSA) follows with a 2:28.68 in the 200 breast (951 pts), and Keahne Bergin (AUS) posts a 1:08.82 in the 100 breast (948 pts) — one of two Hawaii-based swimmers in this division's top five.

Event: 50 Free (SCY) | Eligible athletes: Girls 18 & under | Seasons covered: 2023–24, 2024–25, 2025–26 (through May 2026) Breaking 22 seconds in the short course yard 50 freestyle is one of the most exclusive benchmarks in girls age group swimming. It doesn't happen often — and the data makes that plain. Across three seasons of 18-and-under competition, only 17 swims by 14 unique swimmers have cracked the barrier in our dataset. That's a small, elite group by any measure. Here's a closer look at who's done it, when, and how the seasons compare. Season-by-Season Breakdown 2023–24 — The deepest class on record (in this dataset) Ten swimmers went sub-22 in 2023–24, making it the strongest single season of the three. Alex Shackell (Carmel Swim Club) led the way with a 21.71 at the 2023 Speedo Winter Junior Championships – East, a performance that rated out at exactly 1000 power points. Lily Christianson (Irish Aquatics, 21.72) and Annaliesa Moesch (Greater Somerset County YMCA, 21.73) followed closely, both swimming their best times at the Indiana high school state championships and YMCA Short Course Nationals, respectively. Notable in the class: Julie Mishler (Fishers Area Swimming Tigers) went 21.85 as a 16-year-old at the Indiana state meet, and Charlotte Crush (Lakeside Swim Team) posted 21.88 at just 15 years old at the Georgia Speedo Southern Premier — both foreshadowing what was to come.

Rylee Erisman (Windermere Lakers) clocked a 21.61 at the 2024 FHSAA 4A Championships in November — as a 15-year-old — for 1028 power points, the top mark in this entire dataset. Julie Mishler continued her progression, dropping to 21.62 at Winter Juniors East in December, and Annam Olasewere (Chelsea Piers Aquatic Club) rounded out the season with a 21.99 at the EZ North Speedo Short Course Sectionals.

Gabi Brito (Beach Cities Swimming) leads at 21.66, set at the CIF Southern Section Division 1 meet on May 7 — as a 15-year-old. Erisman is right behind her again at 21.67, showing remarkable consistency across back-to-back state championship performances. Reina Liu (TAC Titans, 21.93) and Charlotte Crush (Lakeside Swim Team, 21.98) round out the current season, with Crush making her second appearance in this dataset, now as a 17-year-old.

Both performances came at the Florida state high school championships. She's clearly established herself as one of the nation's elite age group sprinters. Julie Mishler (Fishers Area Swimming Tigers) improved from 21.85 as a 16-year-old in 2023–24 to 21.62 as a 17-year-old in 2024–25 — a notable 0.23-second drop in 12 months. Charlotte Crush (Lakeside Swim Team) appears in both 2023–24 (21.88, age 15) and 2025–26 (21.98, age 17), maintaining her sub-22 status across a two-year span. Context: How Rare Is Sub-22? To put this benchmark in perspective: Standard Time 2026 USA Swimming National Championships 22.19 2026 NCAA Qualifying Standard 22.28 2026 Speedo Junior Nationals 22.99 SCY American Record 20.37 — Gretchen Walsh (2025) Going sub-22 in the 50 free as an 18-and-under athlete puts a swimmer comfortably inside the USA Nationals qualifying window and well above the NCAA cut. It's a genuinely rare mark — across three seasons of available data, it has happened only 17 times.

A deep dive into one of age group swimming's most exclusive milestones — and the names rewriting the record books Breaking 20 seconds in the 50 yard freestyle is one of junior swimming's most coveted benchmarks. It separates the very good from the elite, the recruits from the commits, the contenders from the future Olympians. Over the past three seasons — 2023–24, 2024–25, and 2025–26 — a combined 76 unique swimmers have cracked the barrier across 94 total swims. Here's a full breakdown of who's doing it, how the numbers are trending, and the names you need to watch. By the Numbers Season Sub-20 Swims Unique Swimmers 2023–24 29 28 2024–25 32 32 2025–26 33 32 Total 94 76 The trend line is clear: more boys are going sub-20 every year. The 2025–26 season — still in progress at time of publication — has already matched last year's total swimmer count with a new high of 33 swims. That's a 14% increase in sub-20 performances over just three seasons, a sign that the standard of American junior sprinting is rising fast. Season-by-Season Leaders 2023–24 Season The season belonged to Lucca Battaglini (East Carolina Aquatics), who posted the fastest junior mark of the year at 19.06 at the Speedo East Winter Junior Championships in December 2023 — a scorching swim that put the field on notice. Right behind him was a name that would become one of the most talked-about sprinters of his generation. Thomas Heilman (Cavalier Aquatics, VA) clocked 19.24 at just 16 years old — a 1009 power point swim that led all 15–16 age groupers by a country mile. Heilman would go on to appear sub-20 multiple times across the dataset, cementing his status as the premier young sprinter in the country. Top 10 — 2023–24 Season # Swimmer Club Age Time Meet 1 Lucca Battaglini East Carolina Aquatics 18 19.06 2023 Speedo East Winter Junior Champs 2 Thomas Heilman Cavalier Aquatics 16 19.24 2023 Speedo East Winter Junior Champs 3 Mason Krings New Hope Crystal Plymouth Swim 16 19.33 2023 Fall Western Great Lakes Open 4 Maximus Williamson Lakeside Aquatic Club 17 19.46 2023 West Speedo Winter Juniors 5 Marre Gattnar Northbay Aquatics 17 19.53 2023 West Speedo Winter Juniors 6 Marvin Johnson McCallie / GPS Aquatics 18 19.56 2024 SE TISCA HS State Championship 7 Kaii Winkler Eagle Aquatics 17 19.59 2023 FL FHSAA Class 1A Championships 8 Spencer Nicholas Nashville Aquatic Club 18 19.64 2023 Speedo Winter Junior Championships – East 9 Diggory Dillingham Bend Swim Club 18 19.67 2023 West Speedo Winter Juniors 10 Devin Dilger OLY Swimming 18 19.69 2023 Speedo East Winter Junior Champs Notable mentions: Michael Rice (SwimMAC Carolina) went 19.79 at age 15 — one of the most eye-popping performances in the dataset. A 15-year-old going sub-20 is almost unheard of, and it foreshadowed what was to come from Rice in subsequent seasons. Andy Kravchenko (Bolles School Sharks) added a 19.87 at 16 from the Speedo East Winter Junior Champs. 2024–25 Season The 2024–25 season saw the largest single-season class of sub-20 performers, with 32 unique swimmers breaking the barrier — and no repeats, meaning every swimmer who went sub-20 this year did so for the first time in a season (a testament to how deep the pipeline has gotten). The headline of the year was Maximus Williamson (Lakeside Aquatic Club, TX) stepping up in a major way. After going 19.46 as a 17-year-old in 2023–24, Williamson returned in his senior season and dropped to 19.08 at the UIL 6A State Championships — the fastest junior time of the entire three-season span at the time. A Texas high school state meet producing a 19.08 is the kind of swim that gets coaches talking for years. Joining him near the top was Ethan Reniewicki (Scottsdale Aquatic Club) at 19.26, and Thomas Heilman again at 19.26 — this time as a 17-year-old at Winter Juniors East, showing remarkable consistency across two age groups.

Porter looks like a name to follow closely heading into 2025–26. 2025–26 Season The current season has already matched prior seasons in volume and pushed the quality ceiling even higher. A cluster of familiar names have returned faster, and several new ones have burst onto the scene. Albert Smelzer (Greensboro Swimming Association) leads the 2025–26 class with a 19.26 at the GA Southeastern Meet of Champions — his third consecutive sub-20 season, having gone 19.96 at age 16, 19.51 at 17, and now 19.26 at 18. That improvement arc is one of the best in this entire dataset. Mike Rice (Mecklenburg Swim Association) continues his trajectory with a 19.28 — going from 19.79 at age 15, to 19.62 at 16, to 19.28 at 17. If that curve holds, a 19-low or even sub-19 is well within conversation by his senior year. Three swimmers tied at 19.28–19.30 highlight just how competitive the top of this class is: Jordan Ragland (Life Time Northern California) at 19.28, and Yury Kuzmenko (Valley Splash) at 19.30 — Kuzmenko at just 17, clocking that at the CCS Championships in May 2026.

Ty Thomas (River City Aquatics) going 19.61 at age 16 flags him as a serious one to watch over the next two seasons. Multi-Season Performers: The True Elite Only a handful of swimmers have gone sub-20 in multiple seasons — a distinction that separates those who peaked early from those building something bigger. Swimmer 2023–24 2024–25 2025–26 Thomas Heilman 19.24 (age 16) 19.26 (age 17) — Maximus Williamson 19.46 (age 17) 19.08 (age 18) — Albert Smelzer 19.96 (age 16) 19.51 (age 17) 19.26 (age 18) Mike Rice 19.79 (age 15) 19.62 (age 16) 19.28 (age 17) Kaii Winkler 19.59 (age 17) 19.63 (age 18) — Andy Kravchenko 19.87 (age 16) 19.65 (age 17) — Tyler Porter — 19.49 (age 16) 19.52 (age 17) Miles Blackson-Dunbar — 19.53 (age 17) 19.37 (age 18) Blake Tebeest — 19.99 (age 16) 19.39 (age 17) Albert Smelzer and Mike Rice are the only two swimmers to appear sub-20 (or right on the line) across all three seasons, with a perfect improvement arc each year. Mike Rice has the most jaw-dropping trajectory: going sub-20 first at age 15, and dropping time in each subsequent season. If Rice stays healthy, a sub-19 bid before he ages out is not far-fetched. Where Are They Coming From? Zone Breakdown The Southern Zone continues to dominate the sprint pipeline, but the Central and Eastern Zones are closing the gap fast. Zone Sub-20 Swims (3 seasons) Southern (SZ) ~38 Eastern (EZ) ~22 Western (WZ) ~22 Central (CZ) ~12 Winter Juniors — both East and West — remain the premier proving ground, accounting for the largest single-meet cluster of sub-20 performances across all three years. High school state championships are increasingly becoming breakthrough venues too, with UIL 6A (TX), OHSAA, VHSL, and NCHSAA all producing sub-20 swims in this window. Ages of the Sub-20 Club Breaking down by age group tells a striking story about where these swims are coming from developmentally. Age Group Sub-20 Swims (3 seasons) 17–18 ~75 15–16 ~19 The 15–16 sub-20s are the rarest and the most exciting — Rice at 15, Heilman at 16, Krings at 16, Kravchenko at 16, Porter at 16, Kuzmenko at 16, Thomas at 16. These are the swimmers most likely to be in Olympic conversation by the time they reach their prime. The Bottom Line Sub-20 in the 50 SCY free is still rare enough to matter — but the field is growing. Three seasons ago, cracking the barrier put you in a class of roughly 28 swimmers nationally. Today, 33 boys did it in a single season alone. The standard isn't getting easier; the swimmers are getting faster. The names to circle heading into the 2026–27 season: Mike Rice (whose ceiling looks sky-high at 17), Yury Kuzmenko (19.30 at 17 is elite), Tyler Porter (two sub-20 seasons already at 17), and Blake Tebeest (dropped 0.60 in one year). Any of them could be the one rewriting what's possible in this event over the next two years. The sub-20 club has never had more members — and it's never been more competitive.

Weekly Top Performances: LCM Power Points Leaderboard (May 7–13) | Edition 02 The second week of May brought another strong slate of long course performances — and a few results worth a closer look. 📸 See this week's Instagram highlights → Each week, Swim Standards ranks the top long course meter performances entered into the system by power points, with one swim per swimmer per age/gender group and a top-three cutoff per division. This week's window covers entries from May 7–13, 2026, drawn from 74,000+ source rows across nearly 15,000 unique swimmer entries. Here's who stood out. 10 & Under Girls Nine-year-olds swept the 10&U girls podium this week. Annie Ma (PAC/IL) leads with a 945-point 50 fly in 34.14 — a quick, powerful swim that earned AAAA. Nya Ferguson (UN/FG) follows at 897 points with a 1:20.64 in the 100 fly, and Olivia Posegay (NTRO/ST) rounds out the trio with an 840-point 50 back in 38.91. Ferguson and Posegay both posted AAA standards.

Emma Saragossi (MAC/NC) leads with a 950-point 200 fly in 2:32.43, followed closely by teammate Livie Vaden (MAC/NC) at 910 points with a 2:35.97 in the same event — both earning AAAA. Josie Sun (MTRO/NT) rounds out the group with an impressive 800/1000 free in 9:31.44 for 895 points, also AAAA.

Elite training environments showing up in the data. Boys The 11-12 boys leaderboard was headlined by an extraordinary distance swim. Eleven-year-old Philip Scharper (NBAC/MD) tops the entire weekly board across all age groups with 1,082 points on an 18:22.89 in the 1500/1650 free — a remarkable feat of endurance and composure at that age. Ethan Zhang (SRQ/FL) follows with a 987-point 200 breast in 2:50.33, and Graham Musser (ASA/PV) slots third with a 2:52.83 in the same event for 961 points.

Going 18:22 in the 1500/1650 at age 11 long course is a serious marker for a distance prospect. 13–14 Girls The 200 IM dominated the 13-14 girls podium. Kate Allen (CSC/IN) leads with a 2:19.54 for 952 points, and teammate Grace Gannon (FAST/IN) follows at 932 points with a 2:20.65 — both 13-year-olds, both AAAA.

How the names on your heat sheet compare to the ones topping the SSA charts — and what a 15-year lag looks like in the water. Every May, the Social Security Administration releases its annual baby name rankings — and for swim fans, it's a natural excuse to check the heat sheet. Names cycle through culture, then through age groups, and eventually they land on a touchpad. So how does the pool stack up against the country right now? We pulled swimmer profile data from our database and matched it against the SSA's 2026 national rankings. Here's what we found. In the Pool: Most Popular Names in U.S. Club Swimming Boys Rank Name Registered Swimmers 1 Ethan 3,828 2 William 3,512 3 Jack 3,432 4 Andrew 3,114 5 Ryan 2,914 6 Luke 2,875 7 Matthew 2,793 8 Noah 2,640 9 Jacob 2,633 10 Henry 2,595 Girls Rank Name Registered Swimmers 1 Emma 5,240 2 Olivia 4,850 3 Sophia 3,739 4 Ava 3,482 5 Ella 3,290 6 Emily 3,069 7 Grace 2,985 8 Charlotte 2,910 9 Anna 2,831 10 Elizabeth 2,592 Nationally: SSA Top 10 Baby Names (2026) Released May 8, 2026. Liam and Olivia hold the #1 spots nationally for the seventh consecutive year. Boys: Liam, Noah, Oliver, Theodore, Henry, James, Elijah, Mateo, William, Lucas Girls: Olivia, Charlotte, Emma, Amelia, Sophia, Mia, Isabella, Evelyn, Sofia, Eliana Where the Lists Overlap Six names appear on both the SSA national rankings and our club swimming data: Olivia · Emma · Sophia · Charlotte · Noah · Henry That's a meaningful overlap — but it tells a slightly different story depending on which side of the lane line you're looking at. What's Going On Here The girls' lists are nearly in sync. Emma (#1 nationally, #1 in the pool), Olivia (#1 SSA, #2 in swim data), Sophia (#5 SSA, #3 in swim data), and Charlotte (#2 SSA, #8 in swim data) all rank highly on both lists. If you're coaching a girls' age group practice right now, you're almost certainly calling two or three of those names per lane — and that's not going to change anytime soon. The boys' lists reflect a generational lag. Ethan, Jack, Andrew, and Matthew don't crack the SSA top 10 for 2026 — but they were extremely popular names in the late 2000s to early 2010s, which is exactly when today's competitive-age swimmers were born. The national #1, Liam, doesn't appear in our swim data at all yet. Give it a decade. Noah and Henry are the crossover names on the boys' side. Noah ranks #8 in the pool and #2 nationally; Henry sits at #10 in swim data and #5 on the SSA list.

Ultimate Muscle Soreness & Tiredness Guide For Swim Meets Don't let "heavy legs" ruin your finals. The race doesn't end at the wall—it ends when your recovery is done. Here is how to stay fresh from the first heat to the last relay. THE PRE-GAME: Get Your Muscles "Awake" Stop static stretching before you race! You want your muscles snappy, not over-relaxed. Dynamic Swings: 15 big arm circles + leg swings to lubricate the joints. Muscle Slapping: Lightly pat your quads and arms to jumpstart blood flow. Band Work: Use a resistance band for 10 "pull-aparts" to activate your back. Box Breathing: 4s inhale, 4s hold, 4s exhale. Calm the nerves, find the focus. THE POST-GAME: Flush the Burn The faster you start recovery, the faster you can go in your next event. The 300 Rule: NEVER skip your 300m easy warm-down. It flushes out the lactic acid. Dry & Wrap: Get out of that wet suit and into a parka ASAP. Warm muscles stay pliable; cold muscles get stiff. Refuel Window: Eat a banana or granola bar within 15 mins to reload your energy tanks. Good luck at the meet! 🏁
