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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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).


    Week at a Glance

    • NAG Record Watch: Eight swims this week stand as NAG records across five different age/gender groups — headlined by Gabriel Brown's 200 IM (10&U Boys) and Rowan Cox's 100 fly (17-18 Boys). Full list above.
    • 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.

    Standings reflect swims logged between July 30 and August 5, 2026, ranked by USA Swimming power points. All listed times meet the AAAA standard except where noted (Adaleen Cho, 10&U Girls, AAA). Rankings follow SwimStandards' competition-ranking methodology, with ties at the cutoff included.

  • Reviewing Our 2026 Junior Pan Pacs Roster Projection
    SSEditorS SSEditor

    Re: Simulating the 2026 Junior Pan Pacs Roster: An Unofficial Look at Who the Priority Rules Point To

    The official 2026 Junior Pan Pacific Championships roster is out, so it's a good time to check our projection against it — where we got it right, where we didn't, and why.

    The Scorecard

    Women: 14 of 20 projected selections matched the official roster.

    • Projected but not official: Rylee Erisman, Brinkleigh Hansen, Sydney Schoeck, Charlotte Crush, Alex Siegel, Emily Wolf
    • Official but missed by projection: Paige Downey, Ellie Clarke, Kennedi Southern, Vivienne Zangaro, Lane Francis, Mia Buff

    Men: 19 of 20 matched.

    • Projected but not official: Cullen Kahl
    • Official but missed by projection: Ellis Crisci

    The Known Issue

    Our model builds projections from final time rankings, filtered by age eligibility — it doesn't currently know which heat a swimmer actually competed in. That's a meaningful gap, because selection isn't purely time-based: only athletes who actually swim in the 18-U final are eligible for consideration in that event. A swimmer can be fast enough on paper and still be ineligible, for reasons our current data doesn't capture.

    We've traced most of the women's misses back to two variants of that same root cause:

    1. Already on a Senior Pan Pacs Team.
    Rylee Erisman (Pan Pacs) and Brinkleigh Hansen (open water) were both already on senior rosters heading into this meet, which makes them ineligible for Junior Pan Pacs regardless of how fast they swam here. Our model has no way to check senior-team status yet, so it projected them anyway.

    2. Opted out of the 18-U final entirely.
    Charlotte Crush swam directly in the Open final in every event we checked, with no record of racing an 18-U final all week — meaning she was never actually in consideration for a Junior Pan Pacs spot, whatever her time-only ranking suggested. Sydney Schoeck's results follow the same pattern in the events we've checked so far, though we haven't confirmed it across her full event list yet.

    The Boys' Side: Fully Resolved

    The one men's miss came down to a head-to-head Priority-3 comparison, not a data gap:

    • Ellis Crisci, 400 Free: 3:50.89 vs. 3:42.43 Medal Standard = +3.806%
    • Cullen Kahl, 200 IM: 2:00.28 vs. 1:55.80 Medal Standard = +3.869%

    Luka Mijatovic opted out of the 400 Free 18-U final, and Crisci was actually 2nd place in that final. Crisci ended up marginally closer to the Medal Standard than Kahl, which gave him the last Priority-3 spot. Straightforward once you have the actual final results — our projection just didn't know about Mijatovic's opt-out.

    Still Open

    After the known-issue cases above, the remaining women's differences are:

    • Projected: Alex Siegel, Sydney Schoeck, Kayla Han, Mena Boardman
    • Official: Kennedi Southern, Vivienne Zangaro, Grace Koenig-Song, Mia Buff

    We haven't traced these back to a specific cause yet. We'll follow up once we've worked through them. In the meantime, this is exactly the kind of gap that tells us where to improve the model — tracking actual 18-U vs. Open final participation, and senior-team status, instead of relying on time rankings alone.

  • Simulating the 2026 Junior Pan Pacs Roster: An Unofficial Look at Who the Priority Rules Point To
    SSEditorS SSEditor

    Important: this is not the official roster. USA Swimming will announce the actual 2026 Junior Pan Pacific Championships team based on the Finish Order of Available Swimmers in the 18-and-under finals at the 2026 Toyota National Championships. This unofficial simulation applies USA Swimming's published priority rules to final-event records in the Swim Standards database, ranking swimmers by final time because the data does not retain official finish positions. Scratches, disqualifications, and other official selection details may cause the actual roster to differ.

    With that context, here is what the updated simulation projects.

    How the Simulation Works

    USA Swimming's eight selection priorities are applied separately to women and men, with a maximum of 20 swimmers on each roster. Full details are available in USA Swimming's 2026 Junior Pan Pacific Championships Athlete Selection Procedures:

    1. The two best-finishing Available Swimmers in each of the 100 Free and 200 Free
    2. The best-finishing Available Swimmer in each other event
    3. The second-best-finishing Available Swimmer in each other event
    4. The third-best-finishing Available Swimmer in the 100 Free
    5. The third-best-finishing Available Swimmer in the 200 Free
    6. The fourth-best-finishing Available Swimmer in the 100 Free
    7. The fourth-best-finishing Available Swimmer in the 200 Free
    8. The third-best-finishing Available Swimmer in each other event

    The wording “in each of the 100 Free and 200 Free” is important: Priority 1 can initially identify four event positions—two from the 100 Free and two from the 200 Free. If the same swimmer occupies a qualifying position in both events, that swimmer counts only once toward the roster.

    The Junior Pan Pacs program also includes the 50 Back, 50 Breast, and 50 Fly as individual events, so those events are included in Priorities 2, 3, and 8.

    What “Percentage of Medal Standard” Means

    The tables include each swim's Percentage of Medal Standard (% of MS). The Medal Standard is the average bronze-medal-winning time from the 2023 World Championships, 2024 Olympic Games, and 2025 World Championships for each event, as published in Appendix 1 of USA Swimming's selection procedures.

    The formula is:

    Percentage of MS = [(Swimmer's Time − Medal Standard) ÷ Medal Standard] × 100

    A lower percentage means the swim was closer to the senior international medal benchmark. Percentage of MS does not replace Finish Order as the primary selection method. It is used to rank swimmers within a priority when the number of swimmers in that priority would exceed the remaining roster spots.

    The Updated Picture

    The men's roster fills all 20 places by Priority 3. Four unique swimmers enter through Priority 1, 11 through Priority 2, and the final five through Priority 3.

    The women's roster reaches 20 at Priority 7. Only three unique swimmers enter through Priority 1, indicating that one swimmer occupied a top-two position in both the 100 Free and 200 Free. Nine swimmers are added at Priority 2 and six at Priority 3. The final two places go to the third- and fourth-best finishers in the 200 Free at Priorities 5 and 7.

    Closest to Medal Standard

    • Women: Rylee Erisman, 52.92 in the 100 Free, at +0.53%
    • Men: Ian Call, 27.09 in the 50 Breast, at +1.35%

    The men's roster is complete at Priority 3, so none of the 100/200 Free depth priorities or Priority 8 is needed.

    Note: Mike Rice and Micah Tennison tied at 49.53 in the 100 Free final. Rice earned the Junior Pan Pac selection position via the subsequent swim-off (49.07); the swim-off established finish order but does not replace the final time.

    A Few Notes

    • Priority 1 does not mean the two best swimmers combined across the 100 Free and 200 Free. It means the top two in the 100 Free and the top two in the 200 Free, with duplicate swimmers counted only once.
    • Rylee Erisman's 100 Free is the closest women's swim to the Medal Standard, while Ian Call's 50 Breast is the closest men's swim.
    • The 50 Back, 50 Breast, and 50 Fly are Junior Pan Pac individual events and are included in the projection. Their inclusion changes the swimmers selected before the men's roster reaches its 20-swimmer limit.
    • Selection is based on Finish Order among Available Swimmers. Percentage of Medal Standard only helps order swimmers within an oversubscribed priority; it is not a replacement for Finish Order.

    This is an unofficial, fan-generated simulation based on final-event data from the 2026 Toyota National Championships in the Swim Standards database. Swimmers are ranked by final time within each sex and event because the database records used for this analysis do not retain official finish positions. The simulation includes the Junior Pan Pac individual-event program, including the 50 Back, 50 Breast, and 50 Fly, and applies USA Swimming's published selection priorities. It may differ from the official team because official Available Swimmer requirements—including intent, citizenship, passport, availability, and Pan Pac status—are not present in this database and must be verified separately. Scratches, disqualifications, official finish-order data, and other provisions may also affect selection. Percentage of Medal Standard is included for context and for the within-priority ordering described by USA Swimming; it is not the primary selection criterion. Refer to USA Swimming for the official roster.

    Another week of long course racing is in the books, and the numbers are in. This edition's board is stacked with tight finishes and breakout swims from some of the country's deepest club programs — headlined by a National Age Group Record from Lubo Liu-Tchorbadjiyski in the 13-14 Boys bracket. Here's how the rankings shook out across all four age brackets.

    10 & Under

    Girls

    Rank Swimmer Age Team Event Time Points
    1 Jordin Omoniyi 9 CFSC 50 Fly 32.92 1013

    3 Ella Xu 9 FCST 100 Breast 1:26.94 1003

    9 Ahana Ghosh 9 CFSC 50 Fly 34.61 919
    10 Olivia Viel 9 HEAT 100 Back 1:20.97 917

    The top of the girls' 10&U board came down to hundredths. Jordin Omoniyi and Emma Liu, both 9, went 32.92 and 32.94 in the 50 Fly to claim the top two spots by a margin of just two points, and the pair account for two of three CFSC/KATY-affiliated swims among the top 10 — Ahana Ghosh's 34.61 gave CFSC a second entry at No. 9. Elsewhere, Ella Xu's 1:26.94 100 Breast and Adeline Farrier's 1:09.78 100 Fly rounded out a top five built almost entirely on stroke events rather than freestyle.

    10 Hoshi Aono 10 AZOT 100 Back 1:13.56 940

    Gabriel Brown's 2:27.47 200 IM was the class of the boys' field, opening a 27-point gap over runner-up Austin Ren's own strong IM effort (2:41.68). It's worth noting Ren accomplished that at age 9, a year younger than Brown. AZOT placed three swimmers in the top 10 — Bryce Alpert, Declan Wang, and Hoshi Aono — spanning fly, back, and IM, a sign of real depth across strokes for that program this week.

    9 Evyn Cain 12 WYNS 50 Fly 29.29 901
    10 Ellie Sungy 11 CUDA 50 Breast 36.29 901

    Distance freestyle set the tone at the top, with Penelope Chao's 17:43.43 1500 leading the way and Sarah Chiang backing it up at No. 2 — notable given Chiang did it as an 11-year-old racing up an age bracket in points terms. From there the board opens up stroke-wise, with breaststroke (Hatfield, Ballis, Sungy) and butterfly (Huang, Elrod, Cain) each landing three swimmers in the top 10. Cain and Sungy tied on points (901) despite competing in entirely different events, a good reminder of how the age-adjusted scoring can level swims that look very different on the clock.

    Junyou He's 30.79 50 Back leads this bracket at 1060 points, with Jiaming Liu's 31.95 50 Breast close behind at No. 2. ROSE placed three swimmers in the top 10 — He, Liu, and Ernest Hsu — giving the program a strong presence across back, breast, and mixed age groups. The bottom half of the board leans distance and fly: Jace Jackson and Ryan Malczewski both cracked the top 10 in the 800 Free, Harrison Hull and Abraham Solis Pinto both scored well in the 200 Fly, and Leo Zhong's 19:35.63 1500 Free rounds out the board at No. 10. Three swims this week — Julian James's 200 Breast, Harrison Hull's 200 Fly, and Leo Zhong's 1500 Free — were recorded at the AAA standard rather than AAAA.

    Harper Rauch's 16:36.56 in the 1500 Free tops the girls' board at 13, and it's a genuinely fast swim regardless of the points context — that pace holds up well against older distance specialists nationally. Breaststroke had a strong week here too, with Emma Fouke, Elissa Deal, and Millie Juergens all cracking the top 10 in either the 100 or 200. Kate Allen's 26.02 50 Free stands out as the lone pure sprint entry among a board otherwise dominated by mid-distance and stroke-200 swims.

    10 Jaxson Daniel 14 NCAP 200 Back 2:06.47 989

    The single best swim of the entire leaderboard this week came from this bracket: Jett Hatchard's 58.18 100 Back at age 13 scored 1117 points, the highest total across all eight boards. Daniel Bunge's 56.41 100 Fly wasn't far behind at 1090, and the two, plus a strong Jacob Lee breaststroke swim at No. 3, gave the top of this list serious separation from the rest of the field. Lubo Liu-Tchorbadjiyski's 51.03 100 Free at No. 4 carries extra weight this week — the time stands as a National Age Group Record in the 13–14 Boys 100 Free (more below). Backstroke was well represented all the way down, with Hatchard, Kirsling, Norem, and Daniel also landing top-10 finishes in either the 100 or 200 distance.

    Record Watch: Lubo Liu-Tchorbadjiyski Sets NAG Record

    Lubo Liu-Tchorbadjiyski's 51.03 100 Free doesn't just top the 13-14 Boys board — it's a new National Age Group Record in the 13–14 Boys 100 Free. At 14, Liu-Tchorbadjiyski still has room within that age bracket, and this swim immediately puts him at the top of the national conversation in the event heading into the rest of the summer season.

    Kennedy Brooks and Liberty Clark were separated by just four points at the top, with Brooks's 1:00.91 100 Back narrowly edging Clark's 53.89 100 Free — a nice head-to-head between a 15-year-old and an 18-year-old at opposite ends of this age bracket. Backstroke dominated the list overall, claiming six of the ten spots across the 100 and 200 distances. The 200 Back in particular produced a bunched trio at Nos. 8-10, with Macey Degroot, Ava Grazziani, and Abby Chan all within two-tenths of each other in points.

    Justin Shi led the boys' bracket with a 53.50 100 Fly, but backstroke was again the story of the week, filling five of the top 10 spots. NCAP and ZSC each landed two swimmers apiece — NCAP's Gabe Hanson and Jo Witdoeckt, and ZSC's Khairi Slater and Everett Heiser — giving both programs a real presence at the top of this board. Postovalov and Tran tied exactly at 962 points despite racing different distances of breaststroke, another good example of how the scoring system can put very different swims on level footing.

  • A Guide to Western Zone Championships and Sectionals
    SSEditorS SSEditor

    The USA Swimming Western Zone runs two top-tier Zone Championship meets each summer, backed by a tier of regional Speedo Sectional meets that funnel qualifiers up. The structure looks complicated at first glance, but it breaks down cleanly once you separate "Zone Championships" from "Sectionals."

    The Two Core Zone Championships

    These are the marquee events — one for the youngest age-group swimmers, one for the older/open group.

    Western Zone Senior Championships
    Open to athletes 19 and under. The 2026 meet runs July 28–August 1 at Clovis West High School Pool in Fresno, CA.

    Western Zone Age Group Championships
    A four-day meet for roughly 700 athletes 14 and under, representing 17 "all-star" teams drawn from the Zone's LSCs. The 2026 meet returns to Boise, with competition at the Idaho Central Aquatic Center, running August 5–8, 2026.

    How the Zone Is Organized

    The Western Zone is made up of two official Sections:

    1. California–Nevada Section
    2. Western Region Section

    The Western Region Section is further divided into two spring regions:

    • Four Corners — Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah
    • Northwest — Alaska, Hawaii, Inland Empire, Montana, Oregon, Pacific Northwest, Snake River, Wyoming

    (Note: this list defines which LSCs belong to each region — it doesn't necessarily determine where the meet is physically held. In 2026, for example, Four Corners' Spring Sectional is being hosted in Carmel, IN, outside the region's home states.)

    The Sectional Tier

    Sectionals sit below Zone Championships and are split by region. As covered in the earlier breakdown, the Western Zone has two official Sections — California–Nevada (CA–NV) and Western Region — with Western Region further dividing into Four Corners and Northwest for Spring meets, then combining for Summer.

    Where it gets more nuanced: CA–NV doesn't run just one Summer Sectional. The 2026 CA–NV Summer Sectionals are being held July 16–19 in Walnut, CA, hosted by Brea Aquatics and the Southern California LSC, and July 23–26 in Novato, CA, hosted by Thunder Coast Aquatics and Pacific Swimming. Two meets, same section, same season — swimmers from across the CA–NV LSCs are split between them.

    2026 Meet Reference Table

    Meet Dates Location
    Western Zone Senior Championships Jul 28–Aug 1 Fresno, CA
    Western Zone Age Group Championships Aug 5–8 Boise, ID
    CA–NV Summer Sectionals (Walnut) Jul 16–19 Walnut, CA
    CA–NV Summer Sectionals (Novato) Jul 23–26 Novato, CA
    Western Region Summer Sectional Jul 16–19 Gresham, OR
    Four Corners Spring Sectional Mar 26–29 Carmel, IN
    Pacific Northwest (Northwest) Spring Sectional Mar 12–15 Federal Way, WA
    CA–NV Winter Sectional dates TBD/unconfirmed for 2026 —

    A note on that last row: We weren't able to confirm firm December 2026 CA–NV Winter Sectional dates in this search — last year's edition ran mid-to-late December in the Brea/Walnut area, so a similar timing is likely, but I'd treat that one as unconfirmed until the Western Zone posts it.

    Where to Find Time Standards

    Every meet listed above has a corresponding qualifying-times page — these are the ones currently live on Swim Standards:

    • Western Zone Senior Championships Time Standards
    • Western Zone Age Group Championships Time Standards
    • CA/NV Speedo Sectionals Time Standards
    • Western Region Summer Speedo Sectional Time Standards
    • Four Corners Spring Speedo Sectional Time Standards
    • Pacific Northwest Spring Speedo Sectional Time Standards
    • Spring/Summer Far Western Championships Time Standards (adjacent championship, not a Sectional)
    • Northwest Age Group Regionals Time Standards (Age Group tier, not Sectional)

    Key Takeaways

    • Two Zone Championships: Senior (Fresno, Jul 28–Aug 1) and Age Group (Boise, Aug 5–8).
    • CA–NV runs two Summer Sectional meets in 2026 — Walnut and Novato — not one combined event.
    • Western Region splits in Spring (Four Corners + Northwest/Pacific Northwest) and recombines in Summer.
    • Winter CA–NV Sectional is likely but not yet confirmed for 2026 — worth checking the Western Zone site as the date approaches.

  • Which 2026 Futures Site Looks Toughest to Crack?
    SSEditorS SSEditor

    The 2026 TYR Futures Championships split the country into five regional meets this week — Austin, Greensboro, Knoxville, Madison, and Sacramento — all racing the same dates (July 29–August 1) and the same 34 individual events. The meets haven't started yet, but the psych sheets are already out — and they point to some sites being a lot harder to make an A-final at than others.

    How We Measured It

    For each of the 34 individual events, we compared the 8th-place seed time — the projected cutoff to make an A-final — across all five sites, and tracked which site has the fastest cutoff. More wins means a deeper, more competitive field going in.

    The Projected Ranking

    Rank Site Fastest Seeded Cutoff In (out of 34 events)
    1 Madison, WI 13
    2 Austin, TX 9
    3 Knoxville, TN 7
    4 Greensboro, NC 5
    5 Sacramento, CA 0

    Based on seed times, Madison has the fastest cutoff in more events than any other site — more than a third of the entire program. Sacramento doesn't have the fastest cutoff in a single event.

    A Real Example: Men's 100 Fly

    Here's the seeded 8th-place time in the men's 100 fly at each site:

    Site 8th Place Seed Time
    Madison 54.91
    Austin 55.66
    Greensboro 55.76
    Knoxville 56.26
    Sacramento 57.11

    Going into the meet, a swimmer seeded at 55.5 projects to make the A-final in Sacramento, Knoxville, or Greensboro — but misses it entirely in Madison.

    Not Just Wins — Consistency

    Madison isn't seeded to win all 34 events, and no site is. But in the events where Madison doesn't have the fastest cutoff, its seed times are still typically within a fraction of a second of whoever does. Sacramento's gaps are bigger — its seed cutoffs often trail the leader by several seconds, not fractions of one.

    That's the real gap between #1 and #5 heading in: Madison projects to win often and stay close everywhere else. Sacramento projects to rarely win and fall well behind when it doesn't.

    Field Size Backs It Up

    Site Total Entries
    Knoxville 2,744
    Madison 2,701
    Austin 2,644
    Greensboro 2,257
    Sacramento 1,928

    Sacramento's field is roughly 800 swimmers smaller than Knoxville's — nearly 30% — consistent with also projecting as the shallowest field.

    Who to Watch at Each Site

    Looking at who tops the psych sheets in the marquee individual events (50/100 free, 100 back, 100 breast, 100 fly, 200 IM), a few names stand out at each site:

    • Sacramento — Olivia Detter (PASA, 20) is seeded #1 in three events: the 50 free (26.05), 100 free (57.46), and 100 fly (1:01.30).
    • Knoxville — Josh Toothman (Blazing Barracudas, 20) tops both sprint frees, seeded 22.65/50.70. Lainy Kruger (Gator Swim Club, 21) leads the women's 100 and 200 free.
    • Austin — Carter Wright (Bolles School Sharks, 19) is the top seed in both the men's 100 free and 100 back.
    • Greensboro — The clear headliner: Reina Liu (TAC, 16) is seeded #1 in five different events — the 100 free, 100 back, 100 fly, 200 IM, and 50 free.
    • Madison — Stuart Seymour (Northwestern University, 21) tops three men's events, while Molly Sweeney (Carmel Swim Club, 18) tops three on the women's side.

    The Takeaway

    If you're swimming Futures in Madison this summer, you're facing a tougher projected road to the A-final than swimmers at any of the other four sites. If you're swimming in Sacramento, the field — while still a legitimate championship meet — projects as the least competitive of the five.

    This isn't a knock on any athlete. Futures assigns swimmers to sites by home region, not competitive balance, so nobody chose their field. But it's a useful reality check when comparing results across sites once the meets wrap: an A-final finish at Madison and an A-final finish at Sacramento won't have required the same time.

  • Chasing History: 11 Pre-2000 NAG Records Still Standing — and How Close Today's Swimmers Came This Season
    SSEditorS SSEditor

    Some records just don't fall. While much of the USA Swimming National Age Group record book has turned over in recent years, a stubborn group of marks — most set in the 1970s, '80s, and '90s — are still standing today. This week we're taking a look at 11 pre-2000 LCM NAG records and stacking them up against the best swims turned in by today's age groupers during the 2025-2026 season.

    None of these records fell. But a few swimmers got remarkably close, and the gaps tell an interesting story about which of these old standards are genuinely vulnerable and which remain out of reach for now.

    The Full Picture

    200 Breast Girls 15-16 2:25.35 Anita Nall 03/02/1992 2:26.35 Mikayla Tan +1.00

    1500 Free Boys 15-16 15:03.91 Bob Hackett 07/17/1976 15:17.02 Luka Mijatovic +13.11

    Ranked closest-to-farthest from the standing record.

    The Closest Calls

    Anita Nall's 200 Breast (Girls 15-16) is the one to watch. Mikayla Tan of San Ramon Valley Aquatics went 2:26.35 at the TYR Pro Swim Series in Sacramento this May, just a single second off a record that has stood since 1992. Of everything on this list, this is the record sitting on the shakiest ground.

    Right behind it, Sippy Woodhead's 200 Free (Girls 13-14) — untouched since 1978 — saw Finola Whelehan of TAC Titans come within 1.80 seconds, going 2:00.33 at the NCS LC AG Championships. Whelehan is worth watching closely: she's the only swimmer to show up twice on this list, also posting a 2:13.99 in the 200 Fly that put her 6.98 seconds behind Mary Meagher's 1979 mark. Two events, two nearly 50-year-old records, one swimmer knocking on both doors.

    Mary Meagher's 200 Fly (Girls 15-16) record from 1981 also drew a serious challenge, with Audrey Derivaux of Jersey Wahoos touching in 2:08.56 at Indianapolis — just 2.60 seconds shy.

    The Longer Roads

    On the other end of the spectrum, the distance events show just how far ahead of their time Woodhead and Hackett really were. Autumn McIntosh of Berzerker Swimming trimmed the field down to 11.36 seconds in the 400 Free, and Luka Mijatovic of Pleasanton Sea Hawks sits 13.11 seconds off Bob Hackett's 1500 Free mark from 1976 — still the largest gap on this list, and a reminder that some 20th-century performances remain genuinely elite by today's standards.

    The breaststroke events for the 13-14 and 11-12 age groups also remain firmly in place. Amanda Beard's 200 Breast (13-14) and Carly Geehr's 100 Breast (11-12) both saw gaps north of five seconds this season, from Emma Fouke and Yan Zheng respectively.

    Key Takeaways

    • Most vulnerable: Anita Nall's 1992 200 Breast (Girls 15-16) — down to a 1.00-second gap.
    • Most durable: Bob Hackett's 1976 1500 Free (Boys 15-16) — still 13+ seconds clear of the field.
    • Name to watch: Finola Whelehan is chasing two separate pre-2000 records (200 Free and 200 Fly) in the same age group.
    • Breaststroke shows up three times on this list, and none of the three gaps dipped under 3 seconds — a sign these marks may hold for a while longer.

    These 11 records are a small but telling cross-section of just how good swimming was in the sport's earlier eras. Some, like Nall's and Woodhead's 200 Free, look increasingly within reach. Others, like Hackett's 1500, remain a reminder that not every "old" record is a soft target.

  • LCM Power Points Leaderboard, Edition 12: July 16 – July 22
    SSEditorS SSEditor

    Starting this week, we're expanding our weekly rankings from three to ten swimmers per age group and gender, giving more of the country's rising talent a spotlight. This edition draws from swims added between July 16–22, and as always, rankings are based on USA Swimming power points rather than raw time — so don't be surprised to see a slower clock time sitting above a faster one.

    The headline of this edition belongs to Robert Legg, who broke the 10&U National Age Group record in the 400 free. Elsewhere, Ayden Tan posted the single highest point total of the week in 13-14 Boys, breaststroke had a big week across the older boys' groups, and an 8-year-old cracked the 10&U Girls list — more on all of that below.


    Record Watch

    Robert Legg delivered the standout swim of the week with his 4:30.32 in the 400 free, breaking the 10&U National Age Group record by nearly six seconds. It's the swim that anchors his No. 1 finish in the 10&U Boys rankings and easily the most significant result on this week's board.

    9 Lola Southard 10 GSA 50 Fly 31.86 930
    10 Kamora Wright 9 WEST 50 Free 31.40 923

    Nya Ferguson tops the group off a 1:12.49 in the 100 fly, edging out Iris Liu's 38.28 breaststroke effort by just nine points. The most eye-catching name on this list, though, is Margaret Wang, who cracks the top 10 at just 8 years old — a full year or more younger than the rest of the field. Breaststroke and fly both show up three times apiece, giving this group a fairly balanced stroke mix.

    10 Leo Williams 9 MOR 200 Free 2:27.42 949

    Robert Legg's 4:30.32 400 free is the standout swim of the group, clearing the field by 130 points. Distance freestyle carries real weight here — three of the top four swims come in the 400 free — while breaststroke shows up four times, more than any other stroke in this bracket.

    10 Findley Chambless 11 GOLD 800 Free 9:55.00 931

    The 400 IM is the story of this group — four of the top ten swims come in that event alone, led by Livie Vaden at 5:23.53. Grace Wang holds the top spot on the strength of a 2:23.21 200 fly, and it's worth noting that Penelope Chao's 5:02.06 is more than 20 seconds faster on the clock than three other 400 IM swims on this list yet sits behind them in points — a good reminder of how the age adjustment can reshuffle the order.

    This is the deepest group of the week — every swimmer here breaks 1,000 points, and nine of the ten are 11-year-olds. The distance events had a strong showing, with three separate 1500 free swims inside the top five, led by Robert Gergardt and Scotty Thieman just two points apart. Nicolas Lahre takes the top spot with a 2:24.54 200 back.

    TAC puts two swimmers in the top two spots, with Finola Whelehan's 2:00.33 200 free leading the way. Breaststroke shows up four times across this list, and freestyle sprinters Sara Young and Katherine McCrea are separated by just nine hundredths in the 100 free (57.76 to 57.85) but only one point in the standings — a good example of how tight the percentage gaps get at this age in sprint freestyle.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

  • June 2026 LCM Monthly Top Performances: Indianapolis Dominates as Young Stars Signal a Strong Season Ahead
    SSEditorS SSEditor

    Data via Swim Standards · Long Course Meters · June 2026


    The 2026 long course season hit its first major crescendo in June, with the TYR Pro Swim Series stop in Indianapolis serving as the month's anchor event. Across the girls' and boys' boards, a handful of swimmers defined the month not just with one strong performance but with multi-event campaigns that demonstrated range, depth, and genuine elite-level speed for their ages.

    Two names headline June in ways that demand attention up front. Rylee Erisman of Windermere Lakers put together one of the most complete multi-event months on the girls' side in recent memory — topping three event leaderboards and cracking 1,000 points in each.

    The month also continued the rise of several younger swimmers who were already turning heads in May, with Annabelle Hayes, Elliot Leasure, Ayden Tan, and Gabriel Brown all picking up right where they left off.


    A Note on Sprint Events

    The 50-meter events (50BK, 50BR, 50FL, and 50FR by time) do not have power-point values available in this dataset. For those events, rankings reflect times only, sorted fastest to slowest.


    Girls' Top Performances

    100 Backstroke

    Charlotte Crush of Lakeside Swim Team (KY) led the month with a 1,025-point performance (1:00.24, TYR Pro Swim Series Indianapolis), topping a board that was remarkably compressed at the top. Reina Liu of TAC Titans was right behind at 1,006 (1:00.70, CMC Triangle Classic) — her third multi-event month in a row putting up 1,000+ scores. On the power-points board, nine-year-old Kensington Jones of Palo Alto Stanford Aquatics and 13-year-old Lillie Dirito of York YMCA round out the top five with scores above 983, reflecting the age-adjusted nature of the system.

    100 Breaststroke

    The breaststroke boards belonged to the younger age groups in June. Payton Garnsey of Delaware Swim Team led on power points at 947 (1:11.58, June Classic), with Emma Fouke of CSP Tideriders second at 943. Four of the top six are 13 or 14 years old — a sign of how deep the 13-14 breaststroke group is shaping up this season.

    100 Butterfly

    Finola Whelehan of TAC Titans led the 100 fly on power points with 990 (59.65, TYR Pro Swim Series Indianapolis) — remarkable for a 14-year-old going sub-minute in a senior field. Rylee Erisman was second at 987 (58.46), her fastest time of the four events she tops this month. Ten-year-old Adeline Farrier of Clearwater Aquatic Team landed third at 978 (1:10.24) — a 10&U performance that places her well ahead of age expectations.

Liberty Clark of Indiana University was right behind at 1,031 (53.51) — the same matchup that headlined the May 100 free board, now remounted on a faster stage. Fourteen-year-old Finola Whelehan lands fourth at 947 (56.56), her second top-five appearance in a sprint event behind a sub-60 fly.

Annabelle Hayes of Irvine Novaquatics was second at 1,016 (2:25.90, SCS June AG Invite) — an 11-year-old clearing the 1,000-point barrier in a mid-distance backstroke event.

Ayden Tan was second at 1,076 (2:09.39, Pacific Swimming Long Course Senior Open) — so close in points that the gap amounts to a rounding difference despite a 10-second time differential, reflecting the age adjustment at work.

    Iris Liu leads the group by a comfortable margin, her 39.13 in the 50 breast worth 1037 points at just 9 years old. Adeline Farrier holds down second with a 100 fly swim, and Kensington Jones joins her in that event to round out the top three. Two of the three spots here belong to 9-year-olds, a sign of the depth building in this age group early in the season.

Espinosa gets there via a 2:12.27 in the 200 Fly; Jew matches him with a 2:22.80 in the 200 Breast — two very different events, identical scores.

    Week at a Glance

    A few storylines worth tracking as the summer continues:

    • Jett Hatchard (OA/UT) posted the highest single point total among 13–14 Boys — 1,092 points on a 58.81 in the 100 Back is a benchmark performance for a 13-year-old.
    • Grace Wang (NOVA/SCS) leads her division by over 100 points with a 2:26.13 in the 200 Fly, the largest margin of any girls' age group this week.
    • Janiel Espinosa and Raymond Jew share second place in the 13–14 Boys at exactly 976 points — reached through entirely different events.
    • PLS (PC) places swimmers in three separate divisions this week: 10&U Girls, 10&U Boys, and 15–18 Boys.
    • The 15–18 Boys top three is separated by just 15 points — the tightest spread across all eight divisions this week.

    The long course meters season is heating up across the country, and the latest leaderboard snapshot — covering performances logged June 11–17 — offers an early look at who's making noise in the pool this summer. Rankings are determined by age-adjusted power points, meaning the scores reward performance relative to age, not just raw speed. Every swimmer listed here posted an AAAA-level time, and all eight age-group winners crossed the 1,000-point threshold.

    Nine-year-old Alexa Jenner of PSC (Arizona) leads the 10&U girls with a 1:13.62 in the 100 fly worth 1,058 points. All three top performers are 9-year-olds, and notably all three chose butterfly or backstroke events — a sign of technical development at the younger end of age group swimming. Kensington Jones of PASA sits third on 990 points, just two points behind Kaila Perry of CCA.

His 1,076 points lead the division. Nine-year-old Luke Gamino of TCA matches Alexa Jenner's points total (1,058) across genders with his 100 fly, while David Li of BREA posts a notably faster time (1:07.40) for 1,050 points — a reminder that older age within a bracket doesn't always translate to a higher point score.

    Data via Swim Standards · Long Course Meters · May 2026


    The long course season is underway, and May did not disappoint. From elite junior invitationals to TYR Pro Swim Series action in Sacramento, swimmers across every age group posted standout performances over the course of the month. Swim Standards tracked the top six power-point scores in each event across both the girls' and boys' fields, and the results paint a picture of a LCM season that arrived in full force.

    A handful of names put together performances across multiple events, several athletes broke the 1,000-point threshold that marks truly elite age-group swims, and a few very young swimmers logged scores that would turn heads in any age group. Here's how May shook out, event by event.


    Girls' Top Performances

    100 Backstroke

    The girls' 100 back produced two 1,000-point swims to lead the month. Callie Yue of Nation's Capital Swim Club (PV) logged a 1:17.54 at the 2026 Long Course Spring Invitational for 1,006 points — a remarkable score for a 9-year-old. Gabriella Brito of Beach Cities Swimming (SCS) joined her above the 1,000-point mark with a 1:01.28 at the NOVA-Speedo Grand Challenge for 1,001 points.

    100 Breaststroke

    A 9-year-old leads the board here as well. Iris Liu of Pleasanton Seahawks (PC) swam 1:28.03 at the Tiger Aquatics Memorial Day Meet for 981 points, the top score in the event. Mikayla Tan of San Ramon Valley Aquatics came in a point behind at 980 with a 1:08.16 at the TYR Pro Swim Series in Sacramento. The event also featured international flair — Keahne Bergin and Coco Mcgrath of Swimming Australia both appeared via the XIV 2026 Oceania Swimming Championships.

    Gabriella Brito makes her second appearance on the leaderboards in May, this time in the 100 fly. Her 59.05 at the NOVA-Speedo Grand Challenge earned 986 points to top the field. Liberty Clark of Indiana University — who surfaces as a major multi-event performer this month — was second at 974 with a 58.82 at the Indy Spring Cup.

Albane Cachot of Sun Devil Swimming was second at 988 with a 54.37 at the AZ Sun Devil Open.

    Age Group Spotlight month-end

  • Weekly Top Performances: LCM Power Points Leaderboard (May 28 – Jun 3) | Edition 05
    SSEditorS SSEditor

    The long course season continues to build steam — and a handful of familiar names are making this series their own.


    Swim Standards' weekly power points board covers performances entered between May 28 – June 3, 2026, drawn from 135,000+ source rows across more than 26,000 unique swimmer entries — the largest pool of the series so far. Rankings are age-adjusted, event-agnostic, and limited to one swim per swimmer per division. Here's the full breakdown.


    10 & Under

    Girls

    Nine-year-old Iris Liu (PLS/PC) opens the week with a bang — a 38.79 in the 50 breast for 1,052 points, the highest score in the 10&U girls group and one of the week's most impressive age-adjusted marks across any division. Maddie Dill (HSC/IL) follows at 996 points with a 36.20 in the 50 back, and Jacqueline Kuo (CDST/PC) — making her second appearance in this series after a 50 back in Edition 01 — returns in a different event, clocking a 31.32 in the 50 free for 928 points. All three earned AAAA.

    Rank Name Age Team Event Time Points
    1 Iris Liu 9 PLS 50 Breast 38.79 1,052
    2 Maddie Dill 9 HSC 50 Back 36.20 996
    3 Jacqueline Kuo 9 CDST 50 Free 31.32 928

    Notable: Kuo is the only swimmer to appear in both Edition 01 and Edition 04, doing so in different events. Liu's 1,052 in the 50 breast at age nine is the highest 10&U girls score of the entire series to date.

    Boys

    Ten-year-old Robert Legg (PLS/PC) leads the boys with a 4:41.01 in the 400/500 free for 1,040 points — a composed distance effort that earns him the top spot. David Li (BREA/SCS) — who appeared in Edition 01 with a 1:09.84 in the 100 fly — is back and faster, going 1:08.43 in the same event for 1,021 points. Nine-year-old Rossi Cofield (RMSC/PV) rounds out the group with a 962-point 50 breast in 40.68. All three earned AAAA.

    3 Rossi Cofield 9 RMSC 50 Breast 40.68 962

    Notable: PLS/PC places swimmers atop both the 10&U girls and boys leaderboards this week — Iris Liu and Robert Legg flying the flag for the same club.


    11–12

    Girls

    NOVA/SCS keeps its grip on the 11-12 girls division. Annabelle Hayes (NOVA/SCS) flips the script on her Edition 01 teammate rivalry, this time taking the top spot with a 988-point 200 back in 2:27.95. Grace Wang (NOVA/SCS) follows at 964 points with a 2:28.66 in the 200 IM — the pair have now appeared on all four editions of this series. Alex Jackson (FINS/LA) breaks up the NOVA sweep, earning third with a 932-point 50 back in 32.64. All three earned AAAA.

    Rank Name Age Team Event Time Points
    1 Annabelle Hayes 11 NOVA 200 Back 2:27.95 988
    2 Grace Wang 11 NOVA 200 IM 2:28.66 964
    3 Alex Jackson 11 FINS 50 Back 32.64 932

    Notable: Hayes and Wang have appeared on every edition of this leaderboard series — four for four. In Edition 01, Wang led Hayes by 0.42 seconds in the 200 back. Here, Hayes turns the tables. This is one of the more compelling age-group rivalries the data has surfaced all season.

    Boys

    The 11-12 boys top three all cleared 1,000 points — the strongest collective showing in this age group so far. Scotty Thieman (PAAC/MA) leads with a 1,002-point 200 fly in 2:31.88, followed by Daniel Radchenko Avondo (NTRO/ST) at exactly 1,000 points with a 19:06.14 in the 1500/1650 free — a remarkable endurance swim for an 11-year-old.

    13–14

    Girls

    Lauren Lonsdale (DART/SN) is back for the second consecutive week, this time in the 200 back — a 2:12.81 for 995 points. She led Edition 03 with a 200 IM; the versatility across strokes is worth noting. Grace Gannon (FAST/IN) returns as well, earning 918 points with a 2:21.44 in the 200 IM, and Ella Legg (PLS/PC) makes her series debut with a 916-point 200 fly in 2:15.82. All three earned AAAA.

    3 Ella Legg 14 PLS 200 Fly 2:15.82 916

    Notable: Lonsdale has now topped the 13-14 girls board in back-to-back weeks in two different events — 200 IM last week, 200 back this week. PLS/PC also continues to impress: Robert Legg (10&U boys), Iris Liu (10&U girls), and Ella Legg (13-14 girls) all represent the club this week.

    Boys

    The 13-14 boys group delivered one of the week's most striking individual performances. Thirteen-year-old Ayden Tan (SRVA/PC) posts a 2:09.74 in the 200 IM for 1,069 points — the highest score across all age groups and genders this week by a comfortable margin. Jacob Lee (ROSE/SCS) follows at 1,021 points with a 1:07.91 in the 100 breast, and Sahiel Pai (NOVA/SCS) — who appeared in Edition 01 — is back with a 1:08.03 in the same event for 1,017 points. All three are 13-year-olds, all earned AAAA, and all cleared 1,000 points.

    3 Sahiel Pai 13 NOVA 100 Breast 1:08.03 1,017

    Notable: Three 13-year-olds, all over 1,000 power points, in the same age group — that's an unusually deep week for 13-14 boys. Tan's 2:09.74 in the 200 IM long course is a legitimately elite age-group mark.


    15–18

    Girls

    Fifteen-year-old Gabriella Brito (BCA/SCS) leads the 15-18 girls with a 1:01.28 in the 100 back for 1,001 points — clearing four figures at the youngest age in the group. Mikayla Tan (SRVA/PC) returns for her second consecutive week on the leaderboard, this time in the 100 breast with a 1:08.16 for 980 points. Adalene Robillard (ALTO/PC) rounds out the group with a 940-point 100 breast in 1:09.08. All three earned AAAA.

    3 Adalene Robillard 18 ALTO 100 Breast 1:09.08 940

    Notable: Mikayla Tan has now appeared on consecutive editions (200 breast in Edition 03, 100 breast here) and her family name shows up twice this week — Ayden Tan topping the 13-14 boys with 1,069 points from the same SRVA/PC club. A strong week for that program.

    Boys

    Luka Mijatovic (PLS/PC) becomes the first swimmer in this series to top the same age/gender group in back-to-back weeks. Last edition, he won the 15-18 boys on a 3:45.20 400/500 free; this week he returns with a 1,037-point 800/1000 free in 7:47.08 — distance freestyle dominance across consecutive editions. Shareef Elaydi (SCSC/PC) earns second with a 992-point 100 breast in 1:03.06, and Edmond Reynolds (UN/ST) takes third with a 989-point 100 breast in 1:04.42. All three earned AAAA.

  • Weekly Top Performances: LCM Power Points Leaderboard (May 21–27) | Edition 04
    SSEditorS SSEditor

    Memorial Day weekend brought a surge of long course action — and some familiar names returned to the leaderboard alongside fresh faces.


    Swim Standards' weekly power points board covers performances entered between May 21–27, 2026, pulling from 110,000+ source rows across nearly 21,000 unique swimmer entries. Rankings are age-adjusted, event-agnostic, and limited to one swim per swimmer per division. Here's the full breakdown.


    10 & Under

    Girls

    Nine-year-old Callie Yue (NCAP/PV) opens the week's leaderboard with a statement swim — a 1:17.54 in the 100 back for 1,006 points, clearing the 1,000-point threshold that's rare at any age, let alone 10&U. Kensington Jones (PASA/PC) follows at 928 points with a 5:21.21 in the 400/500 free, and Bailey Harrell (STAR/FL) rounds out the trio with an 887-point 50 back in 38.08 — the only AAA standard in the group.

    3 Bailey Harrell 9 STAR 50 Back 38.08 887

    Boys

    Luke Gamino (TCA/FL) is back — and faster. The nine-year-old who topped the Edition 02 boys 10&U board with a 32.92 in the 50 fly returns this week with a 32.79 in the same event for 1,028 points, edging his own previous mark. Austin Ren (KATY/GU) pushes him all the way with a 33.17 for 1,005 points — both nine-year-olds, both AAAA in the same event. Zhecheng Zhu (NOVA/SCS) makes his second appearance on this series' leaderboard, this time as a 10-year-old, slotting third with a 909-point 200 IM in 2:39.50.

    2 Austin Ren 9 KATY 50 Fly 33.17 1,005
    3 Zhecheng Zhu 10 NOVA 200 IM 2:39.50 909

    Notable: Gamino has now topped the 10&U boys board in back-to-back weeks, improving his 50 fly by 0.13 seconds. Two nine-year-olds both clearing 1,000 points in the same event in the same week is a remarkable coincidence — and a sign of how competitive this age group has become.


    11–12

    Girls

    NOVA/SCS is at it again. Grace Wang and Annabelle Hayes — who went 1-2 in the 200 back during Edition 01 — are back on the leaderboard, this time in different events. Wang leads with a 1,006-point 400 IM in 5:17.32, and Hayes follows at 992 points with a 9:41.17 in the 800/1000 free. Sarah Chiang (PDST/PN) completes a distance-heavy podium with an 18:59.33 in the 1500/1650 free for 982 points. All three earned AAAA and all three are 11 years old.

    Rank Name Age Team Event Time Points

    3 Sarah Chiang 11 PDST 1500/1650 Free 18:59.33 982

    Notable: Wang and Hayes have now appeared on every edition of this leaderboard series. The NOVA 11-12 girls group is quietly becoming one of the most consistent training groups in the country by this metric.

    Boys

    Eleven-year-old Jeffrey Qian (AGUA/MR) leads the 11-12 boys with a 36.10 in the 50 breast for 954 points — notably, the only AAA standard among the group's top three this week. Hunter Gumbayan (SRA/FL) follows at 937 points with a 5:05.17 in the 400 IM, and Zachary Ruhnke (M3A/IL) takes third with a 5:34.25 in the same event for 919 points. Gumbayan earned AAAA; Ruhnke posted AAA.

    13–14

    Girls

    Lauren Lonsdale (DART/SN) headlines the 13-14 girls with a 2:14.27 in the 200 IM for 999 points — just one point shy of the four-figure mark, and the strongest score in her division this week. Madison Suchecki (SSC/MA) earns second with a 902-point 200 breast in 2:35.72, and Elaine Luisetti (CCA/SN) takes third with a 900-point 400/500 free in 4:20.69. All three are 14 and all earned AAAA.

    3 Elaine Luisetti 14 CCA 400/500 Free 4:20.69 900

    Boys

    Thirteen-year-old Jett Hatchard (OA/UT) turns in one of the week's most impressive individual swims — a 1:00.42 in the 100 back for 1,028 points, the joint-highest score on the entire leaderboard this week. Ethan Reines (SCAR/NJ) follows at 973 points with an 8:23.11 in the 800/1000 free, and Janiel Espinosa (SF/FG) takes third with a 948-point 200 fly in 2:13.86. All three earned AAAA.

    3 Janiel Espinosa 13 SF 200 Fly 2:13.86 948

    Notable: A 13-year-old going 1:00.42 in the 100 back long course is a legitimate marker. Hatchard's 1,028 points ties Gamino for the week's highest overall score — set in a completely different event and age group.


    15–18

    Girls

    Mikayla Tan (SRVA/PC) leads the 15-18 girls with a 995-point 200 breast in 2:26.35 — a sharp long course breaststroke performance at 16. Lucy Velte (EKC/MV) follows at 936 points with a sub-60 100 fly, clocking 59.84, and Emma Hussein (CANY/SCS) rounds out the group with a 935-point 200 IM in 2:16.06. All three earned AAAA — and the top three scores are notably tighter than in previous editions.

    Boys

    The 15-18 boys group produced the week's highest-scoring division, with all three swimmers clearing 1,000 points. Luka Mijatovic (PLS/PC) tops the overall weekly board with 1,033 points on a 3:45.20 in the 400/500 free — a fast, mature distance freestyle at 17. Grant Bellin (KING/PN) is close behind at 1,021 points with a 56.51 in the 100 back, and Andrew Eubanks (TDPS/OR) takes third with a 1,010-point 200 breast in 2:12.59. All three earned AAAA.

    3 Andrew Eubanks 18 TDPS 200 Breast 2:12.59 1,010

    Notable: Bellin is just 15 years old — the youngest swimmer on the 15-18 boys podium — and posted the second-highest score in the group. A 56.51 in the 100 back long course at that age is a significant data point.


    Week at a Glance

    • Highest score overall: Luka Mijatovic (15-18 Boys) — 1,033 pts
    • Joint-highest age-group score: Luke Gamino and Jett Hatchard both hit 1,028 pts in entirely different events and age groups

    Each week, the top five age group performances are ranked by power points — a cross-event scoring metric that normalizes times across strokes and distances. One swim per swimmer, best power points entry kept. Here's who made the board this week across all eight divisions, long course meters.


    10 & Under

    Girls

    Nine-year-old Kaila Perry of CCA leads the 10&U girls with a 40.25 in the 50 breaststroke, earning 986 power points at the AAAA standard. Right on her heels is fellow 9-year-old Annie Ma (PAC), whose 33.44 in the 50 fly checked in at 984 points — a two-point margin that makes this one of the tightest top-two gaps on the board this week. Quinn Schultz (REV) slots into third with a 1:29.17 in the 100 breast (958 pts), followed by Iris Liu (PLS) in fourth with a 2:49.06 in the 200 IM (951 pts). Sophia Lee-Park (CS) rounds out the five with a 37.67 in the 50 back — the only entry in this division to come in at the AAA standard (910 pts).

    Boys

    Robert Legg (PLS) leads the 10&U boys with a 33.16 in the 50 back for 983 points at AAAA. Behind him, a genuine tie: both Isaac Zhang (FCST) and Isen Wolfe (SPA) sit at 946 points — Zhang via a 41.03 in the 50 breast, Wolfe with a 4:53.16 in the 400 free. William Mager (GBSC) posts a 1:19.91 in the 100 fly at the AAA standard (905 pts), and Nazar Antonyshyn (CBGC) closes the group with a 32.51 in the 50 fly (889 pts, AAAA).

    11–12

    Girls

    Gia Saragossi (MAC) tops the 11-12 girls with a 31.63 in the 50 back — 907 points at AAAA. The rest of the division is remarkably tight, with the second through fifth spots separated by just 35 points. Emma Blaho (EAST) goes 1:19.98 in the 100 breast for 883 points, while Penelope Chao (NCAC) hits 4:34.04 in the 400 free (880 pts). Layla Jerrell (ATOM) adds a 1:09.21 in the 100 fly (875 pts), and Elin Finanger (TWST) rounds out the five with a 5:15.00 in the 400 IM (872 pts). All five check in at AAAA.

    Boys

    The 11-12 boys deliver the most impressive depth of any division this week. Nicolas Lahre (BGNW) leads the way with a 2:26.51 in the 200 back — 1,054 points, the highest mark in the younger age groups and well clear of the 1,000-point threshold. Molin Qian (AGUA) also crosses 1,000 with a 35.25 in the 50 breast (1,004 pts), making this the only division this week with two swimmers over that mark. Avery Hu (NOVA) follows with a 2:49.69 in the 200 breast (994 pts), then Michael Li (LAK) with a 1:07.13 in the 100 fly (965 pts). Mikel Ruiz-Massieu (AGUA) rounds out the group with a 2:34.06 in the 200 back at the AAA standard (944 pts). Notably, Qian and Ruiz-Massieu both swim for AGUA out of Metropolitan, giving that club two entries in the same division.

    13–14

    Girls

    Kennedy Masten (MACH) headlines the 13-14 girls with a 1:04.31 in the 100 back for 972 points at AAAA. The 200 fly makes a notable appearance in this division: both Greta Lukens (MAC) and Willa Kulp (NBAC) swim the event, with Lukens going 2:20.45 (890 pts) and Kulp posting the faster time of 2:17.75 (887 pts) — a reminder that power points rank across strokes, not just within them. Finola Whelehan (TAC) sits second overall with a 2:04.88 in the 200 free (891 pts), and Grace Khelan (FIJ) closes the group with a 26.60 in the 50 free (883 pts). All five at AAAA.

    Boys

    The 13-14 boys post the single highest power points score of the entire week. Elliot Leasure (RSC) drops a 57.00 in the 100 back for 1,063 points — the top mark across all divisions and age groups this week. Daniel Bunge (NOVA) follows with a 2:10.10 in the 200 fly (1,014 pts), giving this division two swimmers above 1,000 as well. Cayden Hoang (SAC) adds a 1:09.36 in the 100 breast (974 pts), Frederic Burks (XCEL) posts a 2:23.24 in the 200 breast (970 pts), and Cole Johnson (MAC) rounds out the group with a 2:29.98 in the 200 breast (956 pts). A clean sweep at AAAA across the board.


    15–18

    Girls

    Reina Liu (TAC) leads the senior girls with a 1:01.54 in the 100 back (971 pts, AAAA). Kayda Geyer (MSA) follows with a 2:28.68 in the 200 breast (951 pts), and Keahne Bergin (AUS) posts a 1:08.82 in the 100 breast (948 pts) — one of two Hawaii-based swimmers in this division's top five. Caroline Mallard (MAC) breaks the 60-second barrier in the 100 fly with a 59.88 (935 pts), and Virginia Hinds (ASA) rounds out the group with a 1:02.48 in the 100 back (934 pts). All five at AAAA.

    Boys

    Amare San Diego (HAW) headlines the senior boys with a 1:03.45 in the 100 breast for 1,023 points — an impressive score from a 15-year-old. David Sammons (MAC) and Justin Shi (EST) are deadlocked at 1,002 points each: Sammons with a 1:57.98 in the 200 fly, Shi with a 2:03.19 in the 200 IM. Derek Hernandez-Ojeda (NTRO) posts a 2:03.77 in the 200 back (986 pts), and Fedor Igoshin (UN-04) is just five points back with a 2:04.05 in the same event (981 pts). All five at AAAA.
