Less than a month after turning 17, Mijatovic recorded a mark of 3:45.20 in the 400-meter freestyle on the third night of the TYR Pro Series stop in Sacramento. That performance easily bettered the former record of 3:46.01, posted by Ryan Erisman during the 2025 season.<\/p>\n<p>Mijatovic lowered his personal best in the event by a tenth, as he went 3:45.30 last year for an NAG in the 15-16 classification. In his latest record, Mijatovic split 53.39 at the 100-meter mark, went through the midpoint of the race in 1:50.61 and made the turn at 300 meters in 2:48.77. He came home in a split of 56.43. Earlier in the meet, Mijatovic broke the 15-minute barrier in the 1500 freestyle for the first time in his fledgling career.<\/p>\n<p>A member of the American squad at last summer&#8217;s World Championships in Singapore, Mijatovic did not get the chance to put his talent on display at the international level, as he was one of several athletes severely hampered by a stomach illness. However, based on his Mijatovic looks in May, the teenager appears headed for a big summer. The Californian is expected to race at Nationals, then for Team USA at the Junior Pan Pacific Championships.<\/p>\n<pre><b> Event 26  Men 400 LC Meter Freestyle<\/b>\r\n==================================================================\r\n        World: W 3:39.96  4\/12\/2025 Lucas Martens, GER\r\n     American: A 3:42.78  8\/10\/2008 Larsen Jensen, USA\r\n    U.S. Open: O 3:43.33  6\/6\/2025  Rex Maurer, Longhorn Aquatic\r\n     Pro Swim: M 3:43.49  3\/7\/2026  Samuel Short, Australia\r\n     Jr World:   3:44.31  7\/9\/2023  Petar Petrov Mitsin, BUL\r\n    Name                  Age Team              Prelims     Finals        \r\n==================================================================\r\n<b>                    === Championship Final ===                    <\/b>\r\n \r\n  1 Mijatovic, Luka        17 Pleasanton Seaha  3:52.89    3:45.20  \r\n    r:+0.70  25.57        53.39 (27.82)\r\n        1:21.61 (28.22)     1:50.61 (29.00)\r\n        2:19.62 (29.01)     2:48.77 (29.15)\r\n        3:17.20 (28.43)     3:45.20 (28.00)<\/pre>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/swimmeetresults.tech\/USA-Swimming-TYR-Pro-Swim-Series-Sacramento-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Meet Results<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Luka Mijatovic Destroys NAG Record (17-18) in 400 Freestyle It didn&#8217;t take long for Luka Mijatovic to alter the National Age Group (NAG) records in the 17-18 classification, as he<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7533,"featured_media":614040,"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-643735","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) -
