12-year-old Jude Burkhart has shattered a National Age Group Record in the 11-12 age group just a few weeks before his 13th birthday.
The NBAC age grouper swam 16:05.52 in the 1650 free at the 2024 NBAC Fall Festival Meet. That broke the old record of 16:17.80 that was set by Floridian Nicholas Caldwell in 2006.

Burkhart’s first 1000 yard split of 9:42.79 was also a best time and is the second-best 1000 yard swim in the history of the age group behind only Matthew Hirschberger‘s 9:38.50 in the event in 2011. In fact, even his first 500 yard time of 4:47.52 was a best time and ranks him 14th all-time in the age group.
This is not Burkhart’s first age group record, though it is likely his last meet before aging up. In July, he broke Hirschberger’s record in the 800 meter free in long course (8:48.44), and he also swam a leg of NBAC’s record-setting mixed 400 meter free relay last year.
Burkhart crushed his own personal bests throughout the weekend. Other results:
- 100 IM – 56.89 (-.57 seconds) – #75 all-time
- 200 IM – 2:01.98 (.04 from PB)
- 400 IM – 4:11.38 (-5.75 seconds) – #4 all-time
- 100 free – 49.59 (-1.50 seconds) – #37 all-time
- 200 free – 1:47.18 (-2.84 seconds) – #19 all-time
- 200 breast – 2:22.00 (-7.42 seconds)
- 200 fly – 1:59.24 (-1.82 seconds) – #12 all-time
- 50 back on a relay leadoff – 26.11 (-.95 seconds) – #78 all-time
Burkhart swims for coach Tom Hines.
You know who else swam for coach Tom Hines?
Well…me, for one. But I suppose you’re thinking of someone more accomplished.
(Himes*)
Dang, I don’t think I could run that fast!
Annihilates seems like the right word for this one.
Congrats!
WHAT
OK, in 4 yrs he’ll be 15, almost 16; anybody else t?hinking he might at least be on the 4.x200 prelims relay?
no… he’s 12…. let him breathe and enjoy the sport. He’s not even qualified for trials and you have him pegged top 6… way too early to estimate….
No, I think we’re all just letting him enjoy his success. By the way, we will all probably die in about 30 to 40 years. Have you picked out your casket yet?
His 200 free is #19 all time. Not even top 10. It’s a little premature, but if he does, awesome.
I knew this kid was going to be good, but I didn’t know he was going to be THIS good
