Note: The 15-18 board this week includes a number of swims from the 2026 Pan Pacific Championships, held August 12-15 in Irvine, CA. Several of the swimmers below were competing internationally rather than at a domestic USA Swimming meet — see the note below each 15-18 table.
Meet action was relatively quiet on the domestic side this week — the swims below reflect results that became available in our system during this window, not necessarily meets held during it. Several of the 10&U and 11-12 performances are from meets that took place earlier in the summer, only now catching up into the data. Down in the younger age groups, it was largely a North Carolina affair, with NCAC and its Piedmont-area neighbors stacking the 10&U and 11-12 boards and the 800 Free doing a lot of the heavy lifting. Up top, the 13-14 board stayed domestic and wall-to-wall AAAA, while the 15-18 leaderboard was almost entirely reshaped by swims out of the 2026 Pan Pacific Championships in Irvine, CA — a stacked international field that pushed power points well past 1,000 in several cases, some of the highest totals we've logged on this leaderboard all season.

NCAC placed four swimmers in the 10&U girls' top 10, led by Lucy Shang's 786-point 100 Fly. Minnesota's MTKA and AQJT clubs made their presence felt in the 400 Free, with three different swimmers — Hunter, Reithel, and Sun — all cracking the board in that event, suggesting a distance-friendly session out of that LSC.

This was NCAC's board to lose, and they nearly ran the table with seven of ten entries. The 800 Free was the defining event of the week here — five of the top ten swims came in that race alone, headlined by Katherine Petrucci's AAAA, 846-point swim. Worth noting: Clara Gellin actually posted the faster time of the two AAAA 800 Frees (10:14.77 to Petrucci's 10:15.15) but ranks eighth on power points as a 12-year-old, a good illustration of how the age-adjusted scoring can diverge from raw time.

Every single swim on the 13-14 girls' board this week hit AAAA — a clean sweep that signals just how competitive the level was. Breaststroke was the story, with four different 50 Breasts inside the top ten (Liu, Suchecki, Tang, Heumann), while Lillie Dirito's 30.28 in the 50 Back tops the group. The list also spans a wide geographic footprint, with swimmers representing Massachusetts, North Carolina, Indiana, South Carolina, and South Texas LSCs all cracking the top ten.

Like the girls' side, the 13-14 boys' board went wall-to-wall AAAA. NCS put three swimmers in the top ten, led by Jesse Cyrus's 977-point 50 Back. Caden Normand's 1500 Free stands out as the lone distance swim to crack a board otherwise dominated by sprint and mid-distance events, a nice reminder that the grind events can still score at the top of the leaderboard when the time is right.

This board is almost entirely composed of swims from the 2026 Pan Pacific Championships in Irvine, CA. Every entry hit AAAA, and all ten swims cleared 980 points, topped by Xingchen Lu's 1,076-point 50 Back. The 50 Back was the deepest event of the week, claiming three of the top four spots (Lu, Glintmeyer, Kryger), with the field spanning China, New Zealand, Australia, Argentina, Canada, and Mexico alongside Team USA's Rylee Erisman.

Shin Ohashi's 1,112-point 100 Breast — a silver-medal swim and a new World Junior Record at 58.54 — is the single highest score logged anywhere on this week's leaderboard, across every age group and gender. Like the girls' board, this list is drawn almost entirely from the 2026 Pan Pacific Championships, with Japan, China, Canada, and South Africa all placing multiple swimmers. Breaststroke again drove much of the scoring, with three of the top four swims coming in that stroke.
Week at a Glance
Top swim of the week: Shin Ohashi's 1,112-point 100 Breast at the 2026 Pan Pacific Championships, the highest score on any board this edition.
North Carolina's NCAC, MOR, and RSA clubs combined to dominate both the 10&U and 11-12 leaderboards, with the 800 Free emerging as the signature event in the 11-12 girls' field.
The 13-14 boards, both girls' and boys', were wall-to-wall AAAA standard on the domestic circuit — no swim outside that top tier cracked the top ten in either group.
The 15-18 boards were almost entirely reshaped by the 2026 Pan Pacific Championships (Irvine, CA, August 12-15), with every top-ten entry hitting AAAA and several swims topping 1,000 power points — a level of depth we haven't seen much of this season.
Breaststroke had an outsized week across the older age groups, factoring into multiple top scores in both 13-14 and 15-18.
Standards shown reflect the official USA Swimming motivational time standard achieved for each performance and range from A to AAAA across this edition. Several entries in the 15-18 field represent international swimmers competing at the 2026 Pan Pacific Championships; club links have been included where both LSC and team codes were available, and otherwise labeled as unattached/national team entries. This edition reflects results added to our system between August 13-19 — some swims may be from meets held earlier in the summer.
