The age group\u2019s strongest events are the breast and distance free where they have the most depth.<\/p>\n<p>The 12-year old girls are second to only the Eastern Zone, and are powered by strong back and butterfly times. In fact, the Western Zone has the nation\u2019s top 100-meter backstroker in <strong>Nicole Olivia<\/strong> from Santa Clara Swim Club and top 100-meter flyer in <strong>Isabella Barbara Battistoni<\/strong> from King Aquatic Club.<\/p>\n<p>Sprint free seems to be the strength of the 13-year old girls, where they have the second fastest 50-free swimmer in the nation in <strong>Brooke Schaffer<\/strong>, who recently busted out a 26.88.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Taylor Ruck<\/strong> leads the 14-year old girls with the nation\u2019s top times in the 50, 100, 200, 400, and 800-meter free. She\u2019s a large part of why the West leads all other zones in power points in those events.<\/p>\n<p>The 15-year old girls lead the country in breaststroke power points, eclipsing 8000 points in the 100 and 200-meter races. The West\u2019s best include <strong>Nikol Popov<\/strong> (top 100-meter breast) and <strong>Grace Zhao<\/strong> (top 200-meter breast).<\/p>\n<p>Similar to the 13-year old girls, the West dominates at the top of the sprint free races for 16-year old girls. <strong>Constanze Faith Moseley<\/strong> leads the nation in the 50 and 100-meter free at 25.39 and 55.19.<\/p>\n<p>The 17 and 18-year old girls are the strongest age groups in the west, particularly the 18-year old girls. Stanford\u2019s <strong>Simone Manuel <\/strong>and Cal\u2019s <strong>Noemi Thomas<\/strong> are national leaders and big-name talents.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Boys: <\/strong>The 11-12 year old boys age groups are a force in the Western Zone. Both age groups lead all other zones in power points in addition to having a slew of national top times. Among those national leaders is <strong>Winn Aung <\/strong>who just set new national age group records in the 100-meter fly and 200-meter free.<\/p>\n<p>The 13-year old boys are freakishly fast in the breast events with not only the nation\u2019s top time, but also the best depth in the zone\u2019s top ten. They\u2019re led by <strong>Ethan Dang<\/strong> of King Aquatic Club who swims a 1:08.15 100-meter breast and 2:24.04 200-meter breast.<\/p>\n<p>The Western Zone\u2019s 14-year old boys have amassed the most power points amongst the other three zones. <strong>William Daniel Kovac<\/strong> and <strong>Owen Davis Kao<\/strong> lead the nation in a handful of events.<\/p>\n<p>The 15 and 16-year old age groups each have solid depth in the breaststroke events. Their tenth place times are either the fastest or next fastest tenth place time amongst all the zones.<\/p>\n<p>The 17-year old boys are strong in the distance free races. They\u2019re represented by the nation\u2019s fastest 400-meter freestyler (<strong>Aidan Burns)<\/strong> as well as the best 800 and 1500-meter freestyler (<strong>Nicholas Clay Norman<\/strong>). As a whole, the age group is just behind the Eastern and Southern Zone in power points.<\/p>\n<p>The Eastern and Southern Zones stand alone in overall power points for the 18-year old boys, but the West does have very respectable depth in the 50-meter free and 200-meter IM.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each week, the USA Swimming zones release their top 20 times.
