Mijatovic swam a time of 8:36.74 in the 1000 freestyle to surpass his own national mark of 8:37.01, which was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/luka-mijatovic-lowers-15-16-nag-records-in-500-free-1000-free\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">set just last month<\/a>. On that occasion, Mijatovic had wiped five seconds off his own previous NAG mark of 8:42.45. The two most recent times are ahead of the 17-18 NAG mark, set earlier this month by\u00a0<strong>Ethan Ekk<\/strong> (8:42.25).<\/p>\n<p>This mark is Mijatovic&#8217;s fourth national record of the month. Previously, he achieved new standards for his age group in the long course <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/with-stellar-400-freestyle-luka-mijatovic-sets-latest-nag-record-at-u-s-open\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">400 free (3:45.30)<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/u-s-open-day-four-finals-mens-hubert-kos-jack-alexy-leon-marchand-lower-meet-records-luka-mijatovic-blasts-nag\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">800 free (7:48.28)<\/a> at the U.S. Open, and he opened Sectionals competition with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/luka-mijatovic-blasts-latest-nag-record-with-sizzling-mark-in-1650-freestyle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a time of 14:30.01 in the 1650 free<\/a>, crushing his previous time in that event by an incredible 7.62 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>In other events this week, Mijatovic swam a best time of 1:32.73 in the 200 free to come within three tenths of the NAG record held by\u00a0<strong>Thomas Heilman<\/strong>. He also went 4:09.34 in the 500 free, not far back of his NAG mark of 4:08.57 from last month, and his 400 IM performance of 3:40.96 was just over a second behind the time of <strong>Maximus Williamson<\/strong> (3:39.83).<\/p>\n<p>The past 12 months saw Mijatovic take the step from junior-level talent to senior-level contender as he qualified for the World Championships team for the first time with his runnerup finish in the 400 free at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omegatiming.com\/2025\/world-champs-team-trials-live-results\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. Nationals<\/a>. Mijatovic was also a top-eight finisher in the 200 and 800 free at the qualifying meet. Since then, he has announced his verbal commitment to swim for the University of Texas beginning in 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Luka Mijatovic Downs One Final NAG Record in 2025, Clipping Own 1000 Free Mark A sensational year of competition for 16-year-old\u00a0Luka Mijatovic came to a close Monday at the Sectionals<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":613888,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,122077,7],"tags":[132641],"class_list":["post-629684","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-americas","category-usa","tag-luka-mijatovic"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
