Strong performances across the board from Cali Condors, including win in the 50 free, 50 fly, and points-heavy 50 free skins from Caeleb Dressel, dominated much of ISL Match 2 in Naples. But Energy Standard came through in the end, winning for the second week in a row thanks to double and triple points from the final relay and skins events. Energy Standard thus notched another 4 points to lead Group A in the team standings.

Dressel netted $13,500 over the weekend, plus an additional $5,000 as the meet MVP, while Sjostrom also cleared 5 figures with her winnings of $12,900.  Olivia Smoliga ($8,400), Chad le Clos ($7,500), Lilly King ($6,300), Florent Manaudou ($6,300), Kelsi Dahlia ($5,700), and Femke Heemskerk ($5,400) all took home more than $5,000 for their two days in Naples.
