On the final day of competition at the 2025 ISCA International Senior Cup, 16-year-old Virginia Hinds demolished the 1000 free meet record.

Hinds, who competes for All Star Aquatics, turned in a 9:55.81 to win the 16-and-under 1000 free. Prior to this swim, the fastest time ever swum at the meet stood at 10:07.21, a mile split swam by Olivia George earlier in the week. Before that, the meet record stood at 10:19.90, belonging to Emily Diprospero from 2022. Hinds also took four seconds off her previous best, 9:59.74 swam at the 2024 NOVA Senior Cup.

Showing off her range, Hinds followed up the 1000 victory with a victory in the 100 free, clocking a 49.41 to just miss her 49.35 lifetime best. Ally Vernon of Quest took the open 100 free in 50.40.

Noah Cakir of Team Suffolk pulled off an impressive back-to-back 200 breast/fly victory. The Indiana commit started off the night running away with the breaststroke title, going 1:54.57 to outpace the rest of the field by nine seconds. This is about a tenth off his 1:54.45 lifetime best from 2024 Winter Juniors. In the next event, Cakir made it two for two by going 1:46.27 in the 200 fly.

Nash King completed the same double as Cakir but in the 16-and-under category. The Cincinnati Marlins swimmer claimed the 200 breast in 2:02.31, a best time by six seconds. He followed it up with a 1:48.70 victory in the 200 fly.

In the women’s 200 breaststroke, Williamsburg’s Gracie Gregory earned her first win of the meet, posting a 2:18.97. Ava Jochims won the 16-and-under final in 2:13.12. In the 200 fly, Emerson Callis won the younger division in 2:00.05, while Madeleine Simmons claimed the open in 2:02.19

The final event of the program, the men’s 100 free, went to Austin Temple in the 16-and-under (44.05) and Nazar Zoukovski in the open (44.82). 

Pittsburgh Elite Aquatics won the team title for the meet, with the Cincinnati Marlins coming in close behind.
