Pleasanton Seahawks SC Senior Meet
November 6-9, 2026 Pleasanton, CA SCY (25 yards) “Pleasanton Seahawks SC Senior 2” on Meet MobileAge group phenom Luka Mijatovic has already raided the National Age Group record books, and now he gets to do it for the 17-18 age group, beginning with the 500 freestyle, breaking Luke Hobson‘s more than four-year-old NAG record of 4:08.42 by more than two seconds in a blistering 4:06.37.
Mijatovic, the soon-to-be Texas Longhorn, who turned 17 in April, broke the 15-16 NAG record in 4:08.57 from last November at this same meet, which at the time obliterated his own 15-16 NAG record of 4:10.38 that he swam in the prelims just a few hours earlier.
However, this swim does not even top his lifetime best, set in February of this year at the Speedo Sectionals in Roseville, Calif., where he scorched a 4:05.76, making him the 3rd-fastest performer ever in the 500 freestyle, regardless of age.
He now holds two of the top 10 times in 500 freestyle history, with his best time ranked 4th and this most recent performance ranked 10th.
Men’s 500 Free All-Time Fastest Performances:
Leon Marchand – 4:02.31 (2024) Rex Maurer – 4:04.45 (2024) Rex Maurer – 4:05.35 (2025) Luka Mijatovic – 4:05.76 (2026) Carson Foster – 4:05.81 (2024) Leon Marchand – 4:06.18 (2024) Kieran Smith – 4:06.32 (twice, 2020/2021) Tie. Luke Hobson – 4:06.34 (2025) Luka Mijatovic – 4:06.37 (2026)Mijatovic was actually slower through the first 250 yards than he was in the prelims, hitting the halfway point at 2:01.64 in the prelims on his way to a 4:15.47. The back half could not have been more different, as he settled into the 24.8 range from the 300 through the 450 mark and ultimately closed in 24.46 to win and become the fastest 17-18 swimmer in history by more than two full seconds. This swim earns Mijatovic his first of likely many 17-18 NAG records
That former best sat just over a tenth of a second off of the former Longhorn Hobson’s NAG record.
