LCM Power Points Leaderboard: Edition 14 (July 30 – August 5)

[SSEditor]

Another week, another deep pool of standout swims from age-groupers across the country. Edition 14 of the LCM Power Points Leaderboard covers the week of July 30 through August 5, ranking the top performances by power points across all four age brackets. From a dominant 100 back swim in the 13-14 boys to a razor-thin margin atop the 15-18 girls 100 free, here's a look at who made noise this week — plus a stacked slate of NAG record swims that highlighted the week.

🏆 Record-Breaking Week

Edition 14 saw a wave of standout swims across multiple age groups, several of which stand as NAG record marks for their respective divisions.

Event	Category	Time	Swimmer(s)	Club	Date
200 IM	Girls · 13-14 · LCM	2:12.26	Lauren Lonsdale	SN/DART	8/1/2026
200 Free	Boys · 10&U · LCM	2:11.18	Gabriel Brown	IN/FAST	8/1/2026
50 Free	Girls · 17-18 · LCM	24.28	Liberty Clark	IN/ISC	8/1/2026
200 IM	Boys · 10&U · LCM	2:26.68	Gabriel Brown	IN/FAST	7/31/2026
400 Free	Boys · 17-18 · LCM	3:43.45	Luka Mijatovic	PC/PLS	7/31/2026
100 Fly	Boys · 17-18 · LCM	50.64	Rowan Cox	ST/TXLA	7/30/2026
200 Free Relay	Boys · 17-18 · LCM	1:31.33	Nathan Foucu, Clark Apuada, Jack Cameron, Tyler Porter	PC/QSS	7/29/2026
100 Free	Girls · 17-18 · LCM	52.92	Rylee Erisman	FL/LAKR	7/28/2026

A quick note on two names in this table: Liberty Clark's 50 free (24.28) stands as her NAG record for the event, but since the leaderboard below shows one swim per swimmer — her best by power points — she appears there off her 100 free instead. Similarly, Gabriel Brown's 200 free (2:11.18) is a faster raw swim than the 200 IM that earned him the top spot on the 10&U boys board, but the 200 IM carried more points and is the swim represented below.

📌Updated: 🏆 Elliot Leasure also broke his own 13–14 Boys 100 Back NAG Record again. The USA Swimming NAG Records page may still show his previous mark (55.86), which was set on June 14.

9	Emma Zhang	10	NJS	50 Breast	38.12	918
10	Adaleen Cho	9	SMST	50 Back	37.58	915

The 10&U girls board is a showcase for the 9-year-olds this week, with eight of the top ten swims coming from that age. Iris Liu tops the group with a 37.49 in the 50 breast, good for 1,112 points, while Alexa Jenner's 1:12.49 100 fly slots in right behind at 1,085. It's a reminder of how power points reward strength relative to age — several of these swims came in stroke events rather than freestyle, where technical proficiency at a young age tends to separate the field.

10&U Boys

Rank	Swimmer	Age	Team	Event	Time	Points
1	Gabriel Brown	10	IN	200 IM	2:26.68	1093
2	Aurelius Lien	9	SCSC	400 Free	5:05.03	1059
3	Robert Legg	10	PLS	200 Free	2:12.03	1042
4	Jiaqian Ma	9	PSW	50 Fly	32.96	1017
5	George Xuan	10	NE	50 Breast	36.55	1017
6	Jackson Coslick	9	ASC	400 Free	5:14.64	990
7	Kai-Chen Lin	9	NOVA	400 Free	5:15.15	987
8	Tatsumasa Sekine	9	SCSC	100 Fly	1:16.82	981
9	Nazar Antonyshyn	10	NJS	100 Fly	1:10.53	963
10	Garrett Legg	8	PLS	100 Fly	1:18.37	943

Gabriel Brown leads the way with a 2:26.68 200 IM — a NAG record swim, as noted above — edging out a trio of 400 free performances from Aurelius Lien, Jackson Coslick, and Kai-Chen Lin that all landed within seven points of each other. Also worth noting: Robert Legg and Garrett Legg both appear for PLS, with Garrett doing it at just 8 years old — an early sign of a club producing depth across multiple ages. George Xuan and Jiaqian Ma tied exactly at 1,017 points despite swimming completely different strokes and distances, a good example of how the power points system levels the field across events.

11-12 Girls

Rank	Swimmer	Age	Team	Event	Time	Points
1	Adriana Newman	11	OAPB	50 Back	32.07	973
2	Zoe Hatfield	12	MV	50 Breast	33.58	967

9	Emma Saragossi	11	NCS	100 Back	1:10.43	920
10	Nina Collins	12	SPY	800 Free	9:27.08	915

Distance freestyle makes a strong showing here, with Liesl Roberts and Renee Pang separated by just 1.25 seconds in the mile. But the tightest margin of the week belongs to seventh and eighth place: Harper Storm and Emma Lynch both swam the 200 free within a hundredth of a second of each other — 2:08.26 to 2:08.27 — and finished with identical point totals. Adriana Newman leads the group at 11 years old, showing that age isn't a barrier to the top spot in this bracket.

11-12 Boys

Rank	Swimmer	Age	Team	Event	Time	Points
1	Nicolas Lahre	11	MRZT	200 Back	2:22.72	1111

9	Archer Hougas	12	WEST	50 Fly	27.51	1006
10	Chad Pendleton	11	IN	1500 Free	19:10.27	992

This is the deepest board of the week — every swimmer in the top ten cracked 990 points, and nine of the ten are 11-year-olds. Nicolas Lahre's 200 back headlines the group at 1,111 points, a notably strong mark for the age. The mile also makes multiple appearances, with Robert Gergardt, Jace Jackson, Ryu Shokinji, and Chad Pendleton all cracking the top ten in that event alone — a sign of real distance depth building at this age group nationally.

13-14 Girls

9	Zadie Schatz	14	PLS	400 IM	4:46.08	966
10	Ashley Lotano	13	FG	100 Back	1:04.57	962

Lauren Lonsdale tops the group off her 200 free, but her week also included a NAG record swim in the 200 IM (2:12.26), as noted above. She and Finola Whelehan put together nearly identical 200 free swims — 1:58.90 and 1:59.81 — to claim first and third here. The 100 back also proved a popular event this week, with three different swimmers landing in the top ten off that stroke alone. PLS continues its strong showing across brackets, adding Zadie Schatz's 400 IM to the club's tally after appearances in both 10&U boards.

13-14 Boys

9	Tyler Harris	14	MAKO	100 Back	58.17	1016
10	Cayden Hoang	13	NE	100 Breast	1:08.43	1004

The headline swim of the entire leaderboard this week comes from Elliot Leasure, whose 55.26 in the 100 back is worth 1,136 points — a full 73 points clear of second place, and the largest gap between first and second anywhere on this week's board. It's a swim that would hold up in plenty of senior-level fields, let alone the 13-14 age group. Behind him, the breaststroke depth stands out, with four swimmers inside the top ten coming off 100 breast swims within a second and a half of each other.

15-18 Girls

9	Abi Burke	15	T2	200 Free	1:58.16	1007
10	Lane Francis	16	NOVA	100 Back	1:00.78	1003

Rylee Erisman and Liberty Clark delivered the closest race on the entire board this week, going 52.92 to 52.97 in the 100 free — five hundredths and just two points apart. Clark's week also included a NAG record swim in the 50 free (24.28), noted above, though her 100 free is the swim that represents her here. The 100 back also had a strong week, with three swimmers inside the top ten off that event. NCAP placed two swimmers in the group via Alyssa Sagle and Sadie Buckley, a nice showing of club depth heading into the back half of the summer season.

15-18 Boys

Rank	Swimmer	Age	Team	Event	Time	Points
1	Rowan Cox	18	TXLA	100 Fly	50.64	1071

10	Cullen Cashman	15	SSYS	100 Breast	1:03.47	1022

The top four spots here are separated by just five points, making this the tightest race for the top of the board across all eight groups. Rowan Cox's 100 fly stands as a NAG record and narrowly edges Wilson York and Reef McMeeking, with breaststroke doing a lot of the heavy lifting — four of the top ten swims came in the 100 breast. Worth flagging: Reef McMeeking is just 15 and already sits third in the group, ahead of several 16-, 17-, and 18-year-olds. Also elsewhere on the record board this week: Luka Mijatovic's 400 free (3:43.45) and the QSS 200 free relay quartet of Nathan Foucu, Clark Apuada, Jack Cameron, and Tyler Porter (1:31.33).

• Records not reflected in rankings: Liberty Clark's 50 free NAG record (24.28) and Gabriel Brown's 200 free NAG record (2:11.18) don't appear on the main board — each swimmer's higher-scoring swim represents them instead.
• Biggest statement swim: Elliot Leasure's 55.26 100 back (1,136 points) was the top-scoring swim on the entire board, and by the widest margin over second place of any age group this week.
• Closest race: Rylee Erisman and Liberty Clark in the 15-18 girls 100 free — 52.92 to 52.97, just two points apart.
• Exact tie: Harper Storm and Emma Lynch matched point totals in the 11-12 girls 200 free despite racing at different meets.
• Club depth to watch: PLS placed swimmers across four different boards this week — 10&U boys (twice), 13-14 girls, and 15-18 boys.
• Distance strength: The 11-12 boys mile alone produced four top-ten finishers, underscoring real depth building in that event nationally.
