Luka Mijatovic committed to the University of Texas last week, and this week he set the 5th fastest time in history in the boy’s 1000 freestyle at the Pleasanton Seahawks meet, touching in 8:37.01.
This swim shattered his own 15-16 NAG Record of 8:42.45 from February, and is way under the current 17-18 NAG record of 8:42.25 set by Ethan Ekk earlier this year. Before Mijatovic, the record sat at 8:45.11 by Matthew Hirschberger back in 2015.
He also moved up to the 5th fastest performer, and performance, in history in the event (the list is the same), coming in eight-tenths ahead of Indiana junior Zalan Sarkany‘s 8:37.82 from January of 2024. He now sits just behind Florida’s Ahmed Jaouadi, who swam 8:36.65 last week. He is just over three seconds slower than Clark Smith‘s American Record time of 8:33.93 from 2015, and he is only 16. The top two swimmers on the list both swam at Texas.
