The 2024 NBAC Mid-Summer Classic, which has been a historic host to fast swimming, saw another year of National Age Group Records kick off on Friday.
12-year-old NBAC swimmer Jude Burkhart set a new National Age Group Record in the boys’ 800 meter freestyle. His 8:48.44 broke the 2011 record set by Matthew Hirschberger from the Clearwater Aquatic Team in Florida. Hirschberger’s time was 8:48.59.
Burkhart had only three previous 800 meter frees on his register. He swam 10:17.12 in 2022 when he was 10; 9:26.97 in 2023 when he was 11; and 8:58.72 at the end of May when he was 12.

Splits from Hirschberger’s record-setting swim could not be located.
Hirschberger’s swim 13 years ago in turn broke a record that was 11 years old, set by Maverick Smalley in 2000.
Burkhart has a loaded lineup this weekend. He is also scheduled to swim the 100 free, 200 free, 400 free, 1500 free, 50 breast, 50 fly, 200 back, 200 IM, and 400 IM.
Amazing improvement curve. So much fun to be that age and drop big chunks of time.
Go Jude!
Wow great job! Congrats to Jude & Coaches
