<![CDATA[2026–27 SCY Weekly Top Performers — Edition 1]]>The first SCY Weekly Top Performers of the 2026–27 season is here. This is the SCY companion to last year's LCM Weekly Top Performances series — same format, clearer name.

  • Ranked by Power Points
  • One top swim per swimmer
  • Top 10 per age group, girls and boys separately
  • Groups: 10&U, 11–12, 13–14, 15–18

This edition covers new-season swims entered into Swim Standards between September 1–16. Starting next week, editions will follow our regular Thursday–Wednesday window.

1 Andrew Hilsmier 18 WAKE 100 Free 43.05 AAAA 943
2 Amare San Diego 16 KSC 100 Breast 55.79 AAAA 923

10 Clark Capps 16 AHAC 50 Fly 22.90 AAAA 851

ROSE's breaststroke pipeline shows up again with three swimmers here, all AAAA. Note that David Rainer and Andres Herrera post the exact same 44.83 in the 100 free but land in different spots — the tiebreak comes down to when the swim was added to the database.

Week at a Glance

  • Highest point total: Jett Hatchard, 200 back, 1049 points (13–14 boys)
  • Deepest team showing: ROSE, with swimmers across the 11–12, 13–14, and 15–18 boys boards, mostly in breaststroke
  • Theme of the week: backstroke, especially on the girls' side — it's the most common event across three of the four age groups

Rankings reflect swims added to Swim Standards between September 1–16, 2026 — not necessarily when the swim happened. "Unattached" swimmers are shown without a team link. All events and times are SCY (short course yards).
