As SwimSwam reported throughout the weekend, 16-year-old Luka Mijatovic has been on fire at the CA/NV December Sectionals.
To open up the meet on Friday, the Texas commit smashed the 15-16 NAG in the 1650 free by over seven seconds with a time of 14:30.01.
On Saturday, Mijatovic broke 1:33 for the first time in the 200 free, winning in 1:32.73, the 2nd-best time in age group history behind only Thomas Heilman‘s 2023 NAG Record of 1:32.46. A little over an hour later, he won the 400 IM in a best time of 3:40.96, improving his own #2 all-time ranking (3:41.75 from April) to move closer to Maximus Williamson‘s 2022 record of 3:39.83.
Then, last night, Mijatovic swam 4:09.34 to win the 500 free by ten seconds, the second-fastest time in 15-16 age group history and only the second swim under 4:10, less than a second shy of his own 4:08.57 NAG Record from early November.
SwimSwam has been provided with race videos for both the 400 IM and 500 free swims, and you can watch them below. At the time of posting, footage for his 1650 free is currently unavailable.
He’s slated to take on the 1000 free to close out the meet tonight. In the latter, he holds the 15-16 Record with a time of 8:37.01 from last month, just over three seconds shy of Clark Smith‘s 2015 American Record of 8:33.93. Given he’s PB’d in the 200 and 1650 thus far and was right on his 500 best, both his speed and endurance are clearly on, meaning both records could be on watch.
doesn’t Bobby have the #1 fastest 1000 yd free. .split? that should count on your lists? . .bcuz he DID IT!
He just went 8:36.71 in the 1000 too… 3 seconds off Clark Smith’s American/NCAA record
