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.

At my best I would be lucky to stay with him for the first 50. That’s a fast time.
Pretty good for a HS kid in a mundane distance event.
When was the last men’s American record set be a HS student? Kostoff?
Phelps would be more recent than Kostoff.
Too true.
Did Phelps break any yards records in HS?
Didn’t Ryan Hoffer break the American record in the 100 free (41.23 in December 2015) before Dressel broke it at SECs a few months later (41.07 February 2016).
Actually, I take that back. Nathan Adrian held the record at 41.10, so Hoffer “nearly* broke it, though he never did, because .
Still one of the craziest races. The announcer saying “Ryan Hoffer just broke the pool record” is burned into my brain.
Still off Adrian held it in 41.08 then dressel broke it at 2016 SEC’s by .01 and then obliterated it at NC’s but Adrian got within .02 of his PB at masters nationals which I think is the current USMS record 41.10
Commenters were laughing at him wanting to break the 400 WJR.
Still sure about that?
He’s getting it. He’ll be closer to Thorpe than Zhanshuo
Doesn’t Zhanshuo still have the Chinese Nationals this year? Heard Chinese swimmers are tapering for thag
You got me. Curious to see what happens
Really?
Who was laughing at that? He’s only a couple seconds off, very doable if he keeps improving over the next couple years.
Just go to the comments of his recent interview with Coleman
Excellent coaching job by Bob getting him to drop so much time a week after committing.
Bob’s unlocked a new skill. Coaching from home 😂
Its funny cause the swimswam comments were just talking about him plateauing
Eric vendt. Wow.
The stories of Eric Vendt and what he would do in practice are legendary. The guy was an absolute monster and just an all out freak when it came to training (and racing). Every so often I’m reminded of what an incredible swimmer he was
He almost broke the AR in practice. (3:41) at the end of 5 x (500 fr on 5:00 & 400 IM on 4:00) Desc by round. He got an extra min rest before last IM. This was 22 years ago.
I was at that practice. Schubert had us all (non distance) on the side of the pool cheering him on.
Entire men’s team. He trained early a couple days a week because of class. He was doing the main set solo when the guys started showing up. He was a great captain. “You know what I need? A better coach!” Be well Erik.
He mentioned at the Social Kick podcast that he was going to the US Open in December, wonder of he’s having a good rest, because his LC times should be good
