LCM Power Points Leaderboard, Edition 11: July 9 – July 15
-
Backstroke ruled the week. Across the 13-14 and 15-18 age groups, six of the eight top-three spots came from the 100 Back, headlined by a 1,093-point swim from Elliot Leasure that stands as the top individual performance of the edition. Meanwhile, the 10&U ranks continued to be a showcase for 9-year-olds, and a couple of age-adjusted scoring quirks gave us plenty to unpack. Here's the full breakdown by age group.
10&U
Girls
Rank Swimmer Age Team Event Time Points 1 Iris Liu 9 PLS 50 Breast 38.78 1053 2 Jordin Omoniyi 9 CFSC 50 Fly 33.03 1006 3 Addie Farrier 10 CAT 100 Fly 1:09.83 988 Iris Liu's 38.78 in the 50 Breast leads the group, but it's the age split that stands out — both of the top two spots belong to 9-year-olds, with Addie Farrier the lone 10-year-old to crack the podium.
Boys
Rank Swimmer Age Team Event Time Points 1 Lucas Gamino 9 TCA 100 Fly 1:14.13 1049 2 Gabriel Brown 10 FAST 100 Back 1:09.76 1043 3 Austin Ren 9 KATY 50 Breast 39.46 1020 Same story on the boys' side — Lucas Gamino and Austin Ren, both 9, bookend Gabriel Brown's 10-year-old effort at #2. It's a strong reminder that in the 10&U bucket, age-adjusted scoring can put the younger swimmers right at the top.
11-12
Girls
Rank Swimmer Age Team Event Time Points 1 Sarah Chiang 11 PDST 400 IM 5:27.40 939 2 Kylie Latham 11 BD 50 Fly 30.16 929 3 Vanessa Delev 12 BAD 200 Fly 2:23.54 919 Sarah Chiang's 400 IM tops the group, and it's worth noting she's just 11 — taking on the grueling 400 IM at that age and turning it into the week's top points swim in the bracket is a nice sign of range.
Boys
Rank Swimmer Age Team Event Time Points 1 Hunter Gumbayan 12 SRA 200 Free 1:59.46 1042 2 Maverick McMeeking 12 LAKR 100 Free 55.87 985 3 David Li 11 BREA 200 Fly 2:33.41 983 Hunter Gumbayan's sub-2:00 200 Free was the standout swim in this bracket, clearing 1,000 points and putting real distance between himself and the rest of the field.
13-14
Girls
Rank Swimmer Age Team Event Time Points 1 Lauren Lonsdale 14 DART 100 Back 1:01.64 1031 2 Lillie Dirito 13 YY 100 Back 1:03.85 990 3 Payton Garnsey 14 DST 100 Breast 1:11.11 961 Backstroke takes two of the three spots here, with Lauren Lonsdale's 1:01.64 the class of the group. Lillie Dirito's 1:03.85 is especially notable given she's the youngest swimmer in the top three at 13.
Boys
Rank Swimmer Age Team Event Time Points 1 Elliot Leasure 14 RSC 100 Back 56.28 1093 2 Ayden Tan 13 SRVA 200 IM 2:09.39 1076 3 Alex Kirsling 13 NTRO 100 Back 1:00.93 1009 The headline swim of the entire edition: Elliot Leasure's 56.28 in the 100 Back is worth 1,093 points, the highest total on this week's board across every age group. Ayden Tan's 2:09.39 200 IM isn't far behind at 1,076, and with Alex Kirsling also cracking 1,000 in the 100 Back, this was the deepest and fastest bracket of the week.
15-18
Girls
Rank Swimmer Age Team Event Time Points 1 Daniela Linares Danzos 16 PLS 200 Back 2:09.89 995 2 Thea Bike 16 SCST 100 Back 1:01.33 980 3 Lane Francis 16 NOVA 100 Back 1:01.53 972 Backstroke sweeps this group entirely, and the battle for #2 and #3 was the tightest finish of the week — Thea Bike and Lane Francis, both 16, separated by just two-tenths in the 100 Back and eight points in the standings.
Boys
Rank Swimmer Age Team Event Time Points 1 Cullen Cashman 15 SSYS 100 Breast 1:02.96 1040 2 Luka Mijatovic 17 PLS 200 IM 2:00.73 1008 3 Parker Van Olst 16 WAVE 100 Breast 1:02.82 1000 This one's a good example of how power points and raw speed can diverge. Parker Van Olst actually posted the faster time of the two 100 Breast swims (1:02.82 to Cullen Cashman's 1:02.96), but Cashman comes out on top in points — a function of the age adjustment, since Cashman is 15 to Van Olst's 16.
Week at a Glance
- Top swim of the week: Elliot Leasure's 56.28 100 Back (14, RSC) — 1,093 points, the highest total on this edition's board.
- Closest finish: Thea Bike and Lane Francis, 15-18 Girls, separated by 0.20 seconds and 8 points in the 100 Back.
- Notable age observation: In the 10&U bracket, 9-year-olds took four of the six podium spots across both genders, outscoring several 10-year-old counterparts.
- Stroke/thematic pattern: Backstroke dominated the older age groups, accounting for six of the eight top-three swims in 13-14 and 15-18 combined — and it also produced this week's age-adjusted scoring wrinkle in the 15-18 Boys' breaststroke race.
All standards shown are AAAA. Rankings reflect top power-points performances added to SwimStandards between July 9 and July 15, 2026, with one best swim counted per swimmer per age bracket and gender.

random question, how good is 35 seconds in 50 meter lcm freestyle
It depends on the swimmer’s age and gender. 😊
For example, a 35.00 in the 50 LCM Freestyle is:
- 10-year-old boy: A
- 10-year-old girl: AA
- 11-year-old boy: BB
- 11-year-old girl: BB
- 12–13 boys: B
- 12–13 girls: BB
- 14–18 boys: Below B
- 14–18 girls: B
AAAA corresponds to 98%, AAA to 94%, AA to 92%, A to 85%, B to 45%, and BB to 65%.
