Michael Phelps, 1:45.99 (2003) Luka Mijatovic, 1:46.04 (2026) Jack Levant, 1:46.39 (2018) Luca Urlando, 1:46.51 (2019) Henry McFadden, 1:46.80 (2023)

Mijatovic entered the day as the #13 17-18 all-time with a best time in the age group of a 1:47.19 from last month. Mijatovic has a lifetime best 1:45.92 that he swam at 2025 U.S. Summer Nationals, a time that is the 15-16 NAG and is faster than Phelps’ 17-18 NAG.

Split Comparison

Mijatovic – 2026 US Nationals Phelps – 17-18 NAG Mijatovic PB – 2025 US Nationals 50 24.69 25.22 25.09 100 26.78 26.78 26.85 150 27.04 27.2 27.35 200 27.53 26.79 26.63 1:46.04 1:45.99 1:45.92

The 17 year old still has a whole summer in the age group, giving him plenty of chances to break the 17-18 NAG. Mijatovic’s time tonight notably would have been 4th in the Open Championship final where Ryan Erisman won in a 1:45.23.
