LCM Power Points Leaderboard: Edition 9 (June 25 – July 1)

[SSEditor]

Another week of long course racing has produced a fresh crop of standout swims, and Edition 9 of the Power Points Leaderboard is headlined by a 13-14 boys IM effort that outpointed every other performance on the board. From an 8-year-old backstroker to a pair of milestone efforts in the 15-18 ranks, here's a look at who made the biggest statements between June 25 and July 1.

10 & Under

Girls

Rank	Swimmer	Team	Age	Event	Time	Points
1	Iris Liu	UN (PC)	9	50 Breast	39.13	1037
2	Kseniya Dubinina	PSA (FL)	8	50 Back	35.97	1009
3	Adeline Farrier	CAT (FL)	10	100 Fly	1:10.24	978

The headliner here is Kseniya Dubinina, who at just 8 years old posted a 35.97 in the 50 back that would hold its own against swimmers two and three years her senior. Iris Liu takes the top spot with a 39.13 breaststroke swim at age 9, while Adeline Farrier rounds out the group with a 100 fly effort that clears four figures shy but still earns AAAA recognition.

Boys

Rank	Swimmer	Team	Age	Event	Time	Points
1	Robert Legg	PLS (PC)	10	400 Free	4:37.57	1067
2	Austin Ren	KATY (GU)	9	200 IM	2:44.18	1020
3	Isen Wolfe	SPA (FL)	10	400 Free	4:49.11	977

Robert Legg put together the top swim of the entire 10&U board — boys or girls — with a 4:37.57 in the 400 free that scored 1067 points, one of the highest marks across all age groups this week. Austin Ren, still just 9, backed it up with a 200 IM swim worth 1020 points, and Isen Wolfe joined Legg in the distance free ranks to close out the group.

11-12

Girls

Rank	Swimmer	Team	Age	Event	Time	Points
1	Penelope Chao	NCAC (NC)	12	400 IM	5:02.68	959
2	Victoria Gu	THSC (OR)	11	400 IM	5:27.43	938
3	Erica Wang	LAC (NT)	11	50 Breast	35.95	920

The 400 IM dominated this group, with Penelope Chao and Victoria Gu going 1-2 in the event. Chao's 5:02.68 leads the way at age 12, while Gu's 5:27.43 is a strong mark for an 11-year-old tackling all four strokes over 400 meters. Erica Wang closes the group with a sprint breaststroke swim that stands in contrast to the IM-heavy top two.

Boys

Rank	Swimmer	Team	Age	Event	Time	Points
1	Nicolas Lahre	BGNW (MR)	11	200 Back	2:26.86	1049
2	Scotty Thieman	PAAC (MA)	11	1500 Free	18:46.55	1037
3	Jax Torba	QNS (MR)	11	200 Fly	2:31.35	1009

An all-11-year-old boys top three, and a deep one at that. Nicolas Lahre leads with a 2:26.86 in the 200 back worth 1049 points, while Scotty Thieman turned in one of the week's more grueling efforts — an 18:46.55 in the 1500 free — for 1037 points. Jax Torba closes it out over 200 fly, giving this age group three different strokes represented at the top.

13-14

Girls

Rank	Swimmer	Team	Age	Event	Time	Points
1	Lauren Lonsdale	DART (SN)	14	200 Back	2:13.10	990
2	Lillie Dirito	YY (MA)	13	100 Back	1:03.87	989
3	Abi Cowart	AHAC (ST)	13	200 Back	2:16.99	958

Backstroke ruled the 13-14 girls board this week. Lauren Lonsdale and Abi Cowart both scored with the 200 back, while Lillie Dirito slotted in between them with a 100 back that came within a single point of Lonsdale's top mark — as tight a 1-2 finish as this leaderboard sees.

Boys

Rank	Swimmer	Team	Age	Event	Time	Points
1	Ayden Tan	SRVA (PC)	13	200 IM	2:09.39	1076
2	Johnny Kucek	DYNA (GA)	13	100 Breast	1:08.93	988
3	Calan Buss	TG (SC)	13	50 Free	24.51	980

Ayden Tan's 2:09.39 in the 200 IM is the single highest-scoring swim on the entire board this week, worth 1076 points at just 13 years old. It's a mark that would be notable in any age group, let alone among 13-14s. Johnny Kucek backed it up with a breaststroke swim of his own, and Calan Buss rounds out the group with the week's fastest sprint entry, a 24.51 in the 50 free.

15-18

Girls

Rank	Swimmer	Team	Age	Event	Time	Points
1	Anna Bennett Curtis	BAY (SE)	16	100 Back	1:01.79	961

3	Louise Vidarsson	MSA (NC)	15	200 Back	2:13.38	954

Anna Bennett Curtis and Thea Bike went head-to-head in the 100 back, with just 0.18 seconds separating them at the top of the group. Louise Vidarsson tied Bike on points with a 200 back swim, giving the senior girls board a backstroke sweep across all three spots this week.

3	Evan Pan-Wang	MTRO (NT)	16	100 Fly	54.31	960

Robbie Rosenbaum tops the senior boys with a 56.14 in the 100 back, while Remington Angerer and Evan Pan-Wang finish within a single point of each other across breaststroke and fly, respectively. Three different strokes, three swimmers all born in the same year — a snapshot of just how competitive the 16-year-old class is shaping up to be this season.
