    What Are the ORCA Awards? The ORCA Awards, presented by ISCA, recognize outstanding athletes, coaches, clubs, and contributors who help grow the sport of swimming. One of the featured honors is the Age Group Swimmer of the Year, which recognizes exceptional performances and achievements by age group swimmers throughout the calendar year. Swim Standards is proud to support the ORCA Awards by providing data analysis and independent rankings to help identify top candidates in each age group. The ORCA rankings published by Swim Standards are unofficial and are based solely on meet results available in the Swim Standards database. While we strive to provide complete and accurate data, some meet results may not yet be available or may be corrected after publication. The official ORCA Award finalists and winners are selected by ISCA. Calendar Year, Not Swim Season The ORCA Awards are based on the calendar year (January 1 – December 31), not the USA Swimming season. For example, the 2026 awards include swims achieved between January 1, 2026, and December 31, 2026. Age Groups Each swimmer is evaluated in one of the following age categories: 9 & Under 10 11 12 13 14 15–16 17–18 (Senior) Swimmers are ranked separately within each age category. When a swimmer ages up during the calendar year, they retain eligibility for their previous age and then gain eligibility for the next age group. This means that a high majority of swimmers will have dual eligibility in two different ages each calendar year (often referred to as upper and lower eligibility). Rankings for the older age group are based primarily on swims achieved after aging up. However, if a swimmer did not have an opportunity to compete in a particular eligible event after their birthday, their best time from the previous age group may be carried forward for that event. This helps ensure swimmers are not disadvantaged simply because of the timing of their birthdate. This carry-forward applies only when moving to an older age group. Times achieved after aging up are never counted toward the younger age group’s rankings. How the Scoring Works The rankings are based on each swimmer’s best time in every eligible event with USA Swimming Motivational Standards during the calendar year. Within each age group, gender, course (both SCY and LCM), and eligible events, a swimmer receives points based on their placement on the nation leaderboards. The higher the ranking, the more points received. Bonus points are awarded for any National Age Group Records held at the end of the calendar year. At the conclusion of the calendar year, an annual TOP 10 Leaderboard will be published for both genders and for each age category. The TOP 10 will then be rescored within their leaderboard so that 5 FINALISTS are named for every category. These 5 finalists will be submitted to an established voting committee where each AGE GROUP SWIMMER OF THE YEAR will be announced at the annual ORCA Awards in April. More Than Just Speed The point rankings are designed to identify the leading candidates, but they do not determine the ORCA Award winners by themselves. After the preliminary finalists are identified, ISCA also considers accomplishments such as: State Championship titles Senior State Championship titles Open Water achievements Zones results Junior or National Team selections Other notable accomplishments throughout the year These achievements help distinguish the final winners from the top-ranked candidates. Quarterly Rankings Beginning in 2026, Swim Standards publishes quarterly ORCA leaderboards throughout the year, allowing swimmers, families, and coaches to follow the race for the ORCA Awards as the season progresses. Current schedule: Q1: January 1 – March 31 (Published) Q2: April 1 – June 30 Q3: July 1 – September 30 Q4: October 1 – December 31 These quarterly leaderboards recognize the top-performing swimmers at each checkpoint of the year. The annual January–December rankings will be used to help identify the finalists for the ORCA Age Group Swimmer of the Year Awards. Annual Final Rankings At the end of the calendar year, Swim Standards will publish the complete January–December rankings. Our goal is to provide a transparent and objective scoring system that recognizes outstanding age group performances while supporting the ORCA Awards selection process. For more information about the ORCA Awards and ISCA, visit the official ORCA Awards page. Disclaimer The ORCA rankings published by Swim Standards are unofficial and are intended for informational purposes only. They are calculated using the scoring methodology described above and are based solely on meet results available in the Swim Standards database at the time of publication. Because additional meet results or corrections may become available, rankings may change over time. The official ORCA Award finalists and winners are selected by ISCA using its complete review process, which includes both performance data and non-scoring criteria.

    Data via Swim Standards · Long Course Meters · June 2026 The 2026 long course season hit its first major crescendo in June, with the TYR Pro Swim Series stop in Indianapolis serving as the month's anchor event. Across the girls' and boys' boards, a handful of swimmers defined the month not just with one strong performance but with multi-event campaigns that demonstrated range, depth, and genuine elite-level speed for their ages. Two names headline June in ways that demand attention up front. Rylee Erisman of Windermere Lakers put together one of the most complete multi-event months on the girls' side in recent memory — topping three event leaderboards and cracking 1,000 points in each. The month also continued the rise of several younger swimmers who were already turning heads in May, with Annabelle Hayes, Elliot Leasure, Ayden Tan, and Gabriel Brown all picking up right where they left off. A Note on Sprint Events The 50-meter events (50BK, 50BR, 50FL, and 50FR by time) do not have power-point values available in this dataset. For those events, rankings reflect times only, sorted fastest to slowest. Girls' Top Performances 100 Backstroke Charlotte Crush of Lakeside Swim Team (KY) led the month with a 1,025-point performance (1:00.24, TYR Pro Swim Series Indianapolis), topping a board that was remarkably compressed at the top. Reina Liu of TAC Titans was right behind at 1,006 (1:00.70, CMC Triangle Classic) — her third multi-event month in a row putting up 1,000+ scores. On the power-points board, nine-year-old Kensington Jones of Palo Alto Stanford Aquatics and 13-year-old Lillie Dirito of York YMCA round out the top five with scores above 983, reflecting the age-adjusted nature of the system. # Swimmer Age Club Time Pts 1 Charlotte Crush 18 LAK 1:00.24 1,025 2 Reina Liu 16 TAC 1:00.70 1,006 3 Kensington Jones 9 PASA 1:18.18 990 4 Lillie Dirito 13 YY 1:03.87 989 5 Lauren Lonsdale 14 DART 1:02.84 983 6 Kennedy Brooks 15 KYA 1:01.95 973 100 Breaststroke The breaststroke boards belonged to the younger age groups in June. Payton Garnsey of Delaware Swim Team led on power points at 947 (1:11.58, June Classic), with Emma Fouke of CSP Tideriders second at 943. Four of the top six are 13 or 14 years old — a sign of how deep the 13-14 breaststroke group is shaping up this season. # Swimmer Age Club Time Pts 1 Payton Garnsey 14 DST 1:11.58 947 2 Emma Fouke 14 CSP 1:11.72 943 3 Maddie Moreth 18 VSC 1:09.17 937 4 Lauren Lonsdale 14 DART 1:12.35 923 5 Elissa Deal 14 LAK 1:12.56 917 6 Yixi Liu 14 TAC 1:12.58 916 100 Butterfly Finola Whelehan of TAC Titans led the 100 fly on power points with 990 (59.65, TYR Pro Swim Series Indianapolis) — remarkable for a 14-year-old going sub-minute in a senior field. Rylee Erisman was second at 987 (58.46), her fastest time of the four events she tops this month. Ten-year-old Adeline Farrier of Clearwater Aquatic Team landed third at 978 (1:10.24) — a 10&U performance that places her well ahead of age expectations. # Swimmer Age Club Time Pts 1 Finola Whelehan 14 TAC 59.65 990 2 Rylee Erisman 17 LAKR 58.46 987 3 Adeline Farrier 10 CAT 1:10.24 978 4 Kensington Jones 9 PASA 1:17.45 969 5 Collington Velte 17 EKC 59.59 945 6 Lillie Dirito 13 YY 1:01.95 942 100 Freestyle Rylee Erisman topped the 100 free with 1,044 points (53.24, TYR Pro Swim Series Indianapolis), one of the highest single-event scores on the girls' board in June. Liberty Clark of Indiana University was right behind at 1,031 (53.51) — the same matchup that headlined the May 100 free board, now remounted on a faster stage. Fourteen-year-old Finola Whelehan lands fourth at 947 (56.56), her second top-five appearance in a sprint event behind a sub-60 fly. # Swimmer Age Club Time Pts 1 Rylee Erisman 17 LAKR 53.24 1,044 2 Liberty Clark 18 IU 53.51 1,031 3 Annam Olasewere 18 ALTO 54.94 961 4 Finola Whelehan 14 TAC 56.56 947 5 Abigail Burke 15 T2 55.56 946 6 Katherine McCrea 13 AZOT 57.65 931 200 Backstroke Rylee Erisman put up the month's highest single power-point score on the girls' side in the 200 back — a 1,046-point effort (2:07.00, TYR Pro Swim Series Indianapolis). Annabelle Hayes of Irvine Novaquatics was second at 1,016 (2:25.90, SCS June AG Invite) — an 11-year-old clearing the 1,000-point barrier in a mid-distance backstroke event. Grace Wang, also from Irvine Novaquatics, followed at 995 (2:27.40), giving NOVA a commanding 2-3 in the event. # Swimmer Age Club Time Pts 1 Rylee Erisman 17 LAKR 2:07.00 1,046 2 Annabelle Hayes 11 NOVA 2:25.90 1,016 3 Grace Wang 11 NOVA 2:27.40 995 4 Sydney Schoeck 17 CSP 2:10.70 981 5 Abi Cowart 13 AHAC 2:16.99 958 6 Louise Vidarsson 15 MSA 2:13.38 954 200 Breaststroke Adalene Robillard of Alto Swim Club topped the 200 breast at 936 points (2:29.70, TYR Pro Swim Series Indianapolis), continuing her strong start to the LCM season. Emma Fouke of CSP Tideriders was second at 934 (2:33.35) — the 14-year-old's second leaderboard entry this month across breaststroke events. # Swimmer Age Club Time Pts 1 Adalene Robillard 18 ALTO 2:29.70 936 2 Emma Fouke 14 CSP 2:33.35 934 3 Kaidy Stout 17 GSA 2:30.59 924 4 Madeleine Szymanowski 14 AZOT 2:34.68 916 5 Tessa Jeltema 12 TAC 2:41.77 912 6 Elissa Deal 14 LAK 2:35.26 908 200 Butterfly Grace Wang of Irvine Novaquatics topped the 200 fly power-points board with a standout 1,023 (2:26.13, MVN Fran Crippen SMOC) — an 11-year-old leading the event across all ages. Audrey Derivaux of Jersey Wahoos was second at 996 (2:08.56, TYR Pro Swim Series Indianapolis), and Ellie Clarke of Carmel Swim Club followed at 975 (2:09.84) — Clarke's consistent presence on the fly boards continuing from May. # Swimmer Age Club Time Pts 1 Grace Wang 11 NOVA 2:26.13 1,023 2 Audrey Derivaux 16 JW 2:08.56 996 3 Ellie Clarke 16 CSC 2:09.84 975 4 Finola Whelehan 14 TAC 2:13.99 944 5 Grace Gannon 13 FAST 2:17.44 934 6 Ella Legg 14 PLS 2:15.22 925 200 Freestyle Rylee Erisman tops her third event board in June, leading the 200 free with 1,039 points (1:56.15, TYR Pro Swim Series Indianapolis).

Audrey Derivaux was second at 999 (2:12.67), just a point shy of four figures, and Sydney Schoeck of CSP Tideriders added 971. This is Allen's second June leaderboard appearance. # Swimmer Age Club Time Pts 1 Kate Allen 13 CSC 2:16.54 1,008 2 Audrey Derivaux 16 JW 2:12.67 999 3 Sydney Schoeck 17 CSP 2:14.02 971 4 Sydney Hardy 15 SYS 2:14.65 967 5 Reina Liu 16 TAC 2:14.83 958 6 Finola Whelehan 14 TAC 2:16.48 957 400 Free Annabelle Hayes of Irvine Novaquatics posted 998 points in the 400 free (4:33.88, SCS June AG Invite) — an 11-year-old at the top of a leaderboard that includes 17- and 18-year-olds. Autumn McIntosh of Berzerker Swimming was second at 950 (4:18.51, TYR Pro Swim Series Indianapolis) as a 13-year-old — a fast absolute time that reflects how the power-points system naturally rewards youth. # Swimmer Age Club Time Pts 1 Annabelle Hayes 11 NOVA 4:33.88 998 2 Autumn McIntosh 13 BZRK 4:18.51 950 3 Madi Mintenko 18 CAY 4:11.99 926 4 Penelope Chao 12 NCAC 4:29.69 924 5 Sydney Schoeck 17 CSP 4:13.38 921 6 Lauren Lonsdale 14 DART 4:18.92 921 400 IM Kate Allen of Carmel Swim Club topped the 400 IM board at 998 points (4:47.02, TYR Pro Swim Series Indianapolis), her second event win in June, with Sydney Schoeck close behind at 980 (4:39.42) and Audrey Derivaux at 979 (4:39.64).

In the 50 fly (by power points when available, otherwise by time), Kaila Perry of Crystal Coast Aquatics led the age-group board at 992 points (33.29, CMC Triangle Classic) as a 9-year-old, with Emma Liu of Katy Aquatics second at 970 (33.69) — the 9-10 girls accounting for the top two spots. In the 50 breast, Lauren Lucero of Spartans of La Canada (949 pts, 10&U) and Ella Xu of First Colony Swim Team (949 pts, age 9) led by power points. The 50 back senior board was led by Camille Zarecki (22.61, 14) and Bethany Hale (24.22, 18) — both from the same outdoor YMCA meet in Wisconsin. The age-group 50 back leader on power points was Iris Liu of Pleasanton Seahawks (952 pts, 9 years old, 36.94). Boys' Top Performances 100 Backstroke Elliot Leasure of Rochester Swim Club is the story of the backstroke events in June, full stop. His 55.86 in the 100 back at the MN AQJT Summer Spectacular Invite produced 1,110 power points — the second-highest mark on the entire boys' board this month. Jett Hatchard of Olympus Aquatics was second at 1,092 (58.81, UT CHAT Invitational).

Ayden Tan was second at 1,076 (2:09.39, Pacific Swimming Long Course Senior Open) — so close in points that the gap amounts to a rounding difference despite a 10-second time differential, reflecting the age adjustment at work.

    USA Swimming publishes Maximum Sectional Time Standards to set a national cap on how fast qualifying times for Speedo Sectional meets are allowed to be. These are meet-host rules, not swimmer limits. They exist to keep Sectionals nationally consistent and accessible to the intended level of athletes. 2026 Maximum Time Standards These are the maximum allowed cuts for 2026 Speedo Sectionals. Individual meets may use these times or slower (easier) cuts, but not faster ones. Swimmers qualify by beating their meet’s posted standards. What “Maximum” Means “Maximum” means the fastest (most stringent) time standard a Sectional meet may require for entry in a given event. Individual meet hosts and Zones can choose to use: The published maximum standards, or Slower (easier) qualifying standards They cannot set standards that are faster than the USA Swimming maximums. In other words: Host rule: Meet cut time ≥ USA Swimming maximum standard Swimmer rule: Swimmer’s time < Meet cut time to qualify A swimmer who is faster than the maximum time standard is not excluded; they are simply well under the qualifying time and fully eligible to enter. Why These Standards Exist USA Swimming uses Maximum Sectional Time Standards to: Keep Sectionals aligned with a national performance target (roughly just below Junior Nationals level). Prevent any individual Sectional from becoming too exclusive by setting “super‑fast” local cuts. Provide a consistent expectations framework for coaches, swimmers, and parents across all Zones. Maximum vs. Actual Sectional Cuts Each Sectional meet will publish its own qualifying time standards in the meet information. Those are the times swimmers actually have to beat to enter. Maximum standards (USA Swimming): National cap, same for all Sectionals in that season “May not be faster than” limit for hosts Meet/Zone standards (host): Actual cuts used for entries Must be equal to or slower than the maximum standards

    Hi Adam, thanks so much for looking into this. The NMA meets are club/USA-S meets, 2019 sunbelt champs a USMS meet, but the rest were indeed High School meets. I think this is a really great idea, especially if it could lead to a results file generation to preserve older meet results on a limited basis, since PDF results tend to be what remains over time. AI sounds like a very interesting approach!
