Swimming World will provide a unique analysis of one specific zone each week and a general recap of the remaining zones. Here, you\u2019ll find the zones\u2019 strengths, top athletes, and top times.<\/em><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>USA Swimming Eastern Zone<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n<p><strong>Girls:\u00a0<\/strong>The Eastern Zone is ripe with young talent. The 11 and 12-year old girls rank first amongst all four zones in power points. A large part of that is due to <strong>Megan Lynch<\/strong>, who has the fastest time in the nation for the 50, 100, and 200-meter free. In fact, the 11-year old girls hold the fastest times in the nation in everything but the 400-meter free.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, the 16-year old girls top all the zones in power points. They possess a number of the nation\u2019s top times, including top 100 and 200-meter back times from Great Holyoke YMCA\u2019s <strong>Erin Elizabeth Voss<\/strong>. The 14-year old girls are notably strong in the butterfly races, led by <strong>Easop Lee<\/strong> of North Baltimore.<\/p>\n<p>As a whole, the Eastern Zone girls are considerably strong. None of their age groups rank lower than third among the zones. Much of this can be attributed to top competition like North Baltimore and Nation\u2019s Capital.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Boys:\u00a0<\/strong>The Eastern Zone boys trail the Western and Southern Zones in the youngest age groups. The 11 and 12-year olds are positioned third in power point standings among the zones.\u00a0The 13 and 15-year old boys are dominant age groups for the zone. Eastern Zone standouts Vincent Marciano and <strong>William Spencer Barao<\/strong> are two of the fastest 13-year old freestylers in the entire country.\u00a0Like the girls, the Eastern Zone boys are a powerhouse in USA Swimming. Combining the boys and girls, the Eastern Zone may be the best zone in America.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>USA Swimming Southern Zone<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n<p><strong>Girls:\u00a0<\/strong>The Southern Zone sits atop the power point rankings in the 13, 14, 15, and 18-year old girls division. The zone is one of the deepest across the board in these age groups. Although the Eastern and Western Zones produce the fastest first place time, the Southern Zone\u2019s tenth place time is typically faster than any other tenth place time.<\/p>\n<p>The 18-year old girls are particularly strong, with top performers like <strong>Kathleen Baker<\/strong> and <strong>Vien Nguyen<\/strong> holding the top IM spots.<\/p>\n<p>Where the Eastern Zone reigns supreme, the Southern Zone battles the Western Zone for second place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Boys:\u00a0<\/strong>The deepest divisions for the Southern Zone boys are found among the 16 and 17-year olds. <strong>Michael Taylor<\/strong>, 16, leads the nation in the both backstroke events. The Dynamo product swims a 55.72 100-meter back and a 2:00.14 200-meter back.<\/p>\n<p>Similar to the girls, the Southern Zone finds itself in a three-way battle with the Eastern and Southern zones from swimming supremacy in all the age groups.<\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>USA Swimming Western Zone\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n<p><strong>Girls:\u00a0<\/strong>The only age group to lead all zones in power points is the 17-year old girls, but the Western Zone remains very competitive in other age groups. They rank second in the 11 and 12-year old divisions, trailing just behind the Eastern Zone in both age groups.<\/p>\n<p>They also rank second in the 14-year old girls division, where <strong>Taylor Ruck<\/strong> of Scottsdale Aquatic Club leads the nation in every free event besides the 1500.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Boys:\u00a0<\/strong>The Western Zone boys have plenty of strength in the 11, 12, and 14-year old boys divisions. Each event for the 11 and 12-year old boys, except for the 11-year old boys\u2019 400-meter free and 12-year old boys\u2019 800-meter free, eclipses 8000 power points. No other zone can claim that feat.<\/p>\n<p>In the remaining age groups, the power point standings are within striking distance of either the Eastern or Southern Zones. Simply put, the three regions are competitive <em>and <\/em>deep.<\/p>\n<h1><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">USA Swimming Central Zone<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n<p><strong>Girls<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Central Zone may not have the same strength in numbers as the other zones, but there\u2019s no lack of performance from the zone\u2019s top talents. The zone\u2019s 15-year old girls are some of the best freestylers in the nation.<\/p>\n<p>Central swimmers like <strong>Mariah Denigan<\/strong> (11), <strong>Kaylyn Schoof<\/strong> (12), <strong>Gabriela Pierobon Mays<\/strong> (12), <strong>Hannah Kukurugya<\/strong> (16), and <strong>Miranda Tucker<\/strong> (17) all clocked national top times this season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Boys<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Similar to the girls, the Central Zone boys fall behind the other zones in power point rankings. Perhaps the zone\u2019s best age group is the 14-year old division. <strong>Jake Foster<\/strong> headlines this unit with the fast 100 and 200-meter breast time in the nation.<\/p>\n<p>The top of the age groups in the Central Zone can compete with any other zone, but the lower half of the top ten isn\u2019t as fast as the other zones. As the season progresses, swimmers in the Central Zone hope to close the gap between them and the other zones.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LINKS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.easternzoneswimming.org\/records.html\">http:\/\/www.easternzoneswimming.org\/records.html<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.szoneswim.com\/TabGeneric.jsp?_tabid_=155843&amp;team=szlsc\">http:\/\/www.szoneswim.com\/TabGeneric.jsp?_tabid_=155843&amp;team=szlsc<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamunify.com\/TabGeneric.jsp?_tabid_=155849&amp;team=wzone\">https:\/\/www.teamunify.com\/TabGeneric.jsp?_tabid_=155849&amp;team=wzone<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.centralzones.org\/cenzone\/UserFiles\/File\/TimeLists\/CZ%20LCM%20Top%2020%20Female%20Individual%206-3-2015.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>http:\/\/www.centralzones.org\/cenzone\/UserFiles\/File\/TimeLists\/CZ%20LCM%20Top%2020%20Female%20Individual%206-3-2015.pdf<\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each week, USA Swimming releases their top 20 zone times.
