LCM Power Points Leaderboard: Edition 16 (August 13–19)
-
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.
10&U Girls
Rank Swimmer Age Team Event Time Standard Points 1 Lucy Shang 9 NCAC 100 Fly 1:25.72 AAA 786 2 Evelyn Brown 9 NCAC 100 Breast 1:41.12 AA 727 3 Sophia Hunter 10 MTKA 400 Free 5:25.80 AAAA 717 4 Stella Sullivan 9 NCAC 50 Free 35.50 A 685 5 Eleanor Reithel 10 MTKA 400 Free 5:32.29 AAA 668 6 Kai-ning Sun 10 AQJT 400 Free 5:34.31 AAA 654 7 Emma Biggs 9 RSA 100 Breast 1:46.16 A 636 8 Sienna Sung 10 CAT 100 Breast 1:39.05 AA 598 9 Emrie Burke 9 NCAC 100 Breast 1:49.06 BB 584 10 Lily Delgross 9 NCAC 50 Breast 50.33 BB 566 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.
10&U Boys
Rank Swimmer Age Team Event Time Standard Points 1 John Stitzenberg 9 NCAC 100 Free 1:12.50 AAA 801 2 Charles Swinsick 10 MOR 50 Free 33.18 AA 695 3 Stuart Franks 9 MOR 100 Back 1:30.79 A 649 4 Niam Gettings 10 NCAC 50 Back 39.34 AA 645 5 Eric Sliwowski 9 NCAC 100 Back 1:31.64 A 631 6 Brycen Polackoff 10 MOR 50 Free 36.52 BB 522 7 Izar Elizalde Streberger 9 MOR 100 Back 1:37.13 BB 515 8 Ryder Cumpelik 10 NCAC 50 Free 37.04 BB 496 9 Blake Beaver 9 RCST 50 Free 39.27 BB 492 10 Eli LoPiccolo 10 RSA 50 Free 37.77 BB 460 John Stitzenberg's 801-point 100 Free tops the boys' board and stands as the single highest score among all 10&U swimmers this week. North Carolina swept every slot here as well, with NCAC and MOR splitting six of the ten spots between them.
11-12 Girls
Rank Swimmer Age Team Event Time Standard Points 1 Katherine Petrucci 11 NCAC 800 Free 10:15.15 AAAA 846 2 Lillian Sullivan 11 NCAC 800 Free 10:30.36 AAA 784 3 Elizabeth Tvermoes 11 NCAC 200 Fly 2:47.56 AA 781 4 Emerald Figler 11 NCAC 800 Free 10:33.06 AAA 773 5 Emma James 11 NCAC 800 Free 10:42.87 AAA 735 6 Elodie Luukinen 11 Unattached (NC) 50 Free 30.59 AA 734 7 Rumer Hagmann 11 MOR 200 Free 2:24.77 AAA 720 8 Clara Gellin 12 NCAC 800 Free 10:14.77 AAAA 710 9 Ailey White 12 RSA 50 Fly 32.77 AAA 665 10 Ellie Makowenskyj 11 NCAC 50 Fly 34.28 AA 661 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.
11-12 Boys
Rank Swimmer Age Team Event Time Standard Points 1 Ethan Cox 11 NCAC 800 Free 10:25.01 AAA 807 2 Isaiah Coupland 11 NCAC 200 Breast 3:15.92 BB 723 3 Henry Muthler 12 NCAC 800 Free 10:07.80 AAA 712 4 Calvin Kalinowski 12 SMS 50 Free 29.48 AA 698 5 Jacob Holding 12 MOR 50 Free 29.52 AA 696 6 Benjamin Bailey 11 RSA 200 Breast 3:18.62 BB 696 7 Maddox Nguyen 12 HAC 50 Free 29.64 AA 688 8 Michael Williams 11 MOR 200 Back 2:54.13 BB 672 9 Zachary Rector 11 RSA 200 Breast 3:24.42 BB 639 10 Thomas Carter Gillam 12 NCAC 100 Fly 1:12.81 AA 634 Henry Muthler's 10:07.80 was the fastest 800 Free time on either 11-12 board this week, though it slots in third by points behind Cox's higher-scoring 11-year-old swim. The 200 Breast also had a strong showing, with three swims — Coupland, Bailey, and Rector — all landing in the top ten.
13-14 Girls
Rank Swimmer Age Team Event Time Standard Points 1 Lillie Dirito 13 YY 50 Back 30.28 AAAA 992 2 Ziva Liu 14 TAC 50 Breast 33.31 AAAA 963 3 Madison Suchecki 14 SSC 50 Breast 33.44 AAAA 954 4 Crystal Tang 14 ISC 50 Breast 33.86 AAAA 927 5 Lexi Cronin 13 SPAR 50 Back 31.25 AAAA 910 6 Grace Gannon 13 FAST 400 IM 4:58.63 AAAA 903 7 Anna Heumann 14 NOVA 50 Breast 34.36 AAAA 894 8 Abi Cowart 13 AHAC 100 Free 58.52 AAAA 891 9 Maddy Szymanowski 14 AZOT 200 Breast 2:37.12 AAAA 883 10 Nora Kellstrom 13 DUNE 100 Back 1:06.75 AAAA 879 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.
13-14 Boys
Rank Swimmer Age Team Event Time Standard Points 1 Jesse Cyrus 14 NCS 50 Back 27.53 AAAA 977 2 Rui Rui An 14 CSC 200 IM 2:10.27 AAAA 958 3 Steven Zhou-He 14 TAC 100 Fly 57.43 AAAA 941 4 Raymond Jew 14 AZOT 200 Breast 2:25.74 AAAA 934 5 John Taylor Lee 13 NCS 200 Free 2:00.99 AAAA 930 6 Caden Normand 13 MAC 1500 Free 16:48.49 AAAA 922 7 Ontario Johnson 13 MSC 100 Free 55.58 AAAA 901 8 Jack Latsko 14 SOUD 50 Fly 26.99 AAAA 896 9 Hawken Tate 14 NCS 50 Back 28.52 AAAA 893 10 Dominic Yeager 14 PSC 50 Fly 27.07 AAAA 889 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.
15-18 Girls

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.
15-18 Boys
Rank Swimmer Age Team Event Time Standard Points 1 SHIN OHASHI 17 JPN (Unattached) 100 Breast 58.54 AAAA 1112 2 Junjie LIU 18 CHN (Unattached) 50 Breast 27.05 AAAA 1073 3 Yumeki Kojima 17 JPN (Unattached) 200 IM 1:57.83 AAAA 1073 4 Oliver Dawson 18 CAN (Unattached) 50 Breast 27.28 AAAA 1053 5 Francis Brennan 18 CAN 200 Free 1:47.96 AAAA 985 6 Kris Mihaylov 18 RSA (Unattached) 200 Fly 1:57.68 AAAA 971 7 LAON KIM 18 CAN (Unattached) 200 Free 1:48.81 AAAA 963 8 Anton Semenyuk 18 CAN (Unattached) 200 Fly 1:58.39 AAAA 957 9 Giancarlo Raccanello 16 RSA (Unattached) 50 Breast 29.77 AAAA 916 10 Adrian Van Wyk 18 RSA (Unattached) 200 Back 2:02.29 AAAA 916 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.
