ISL Match 8 Notes: MVP Caeleb Dressel Everywhere Condors Need Him to Be<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are two ways to view the MVP race in the International Swimming League, the quantity lens or the quality lens. With swimmers like Lilly King<\/strong> or Siobhan Haughey,<\/strong> with well-defined specialties over stroke or distance, it\u2019s about quality<\/a>, maximizing the points that can come from a limited number of events.<\/p>\n

With speedsters like Caeleb Dressel,<\/strong> in a league where the fun of 50s is a cornerstone of the package, there\u2019s a quantity aspect. It\u2019s not just how fast Dressel can go, but how often he can summon that speed.<\/p>\n

Dressel didn\u2019t disappoint Friday in the conclusion<\/a> of ISL Match 8, again earning an MVP award and leading the Condors to a win in the showdown with the London Roar. With it, the Condors move top of the standings, all alone with 12 points from three matches.<\/p>\n

The Condors collected 507 points, ahead of the Roar (491.5) most of the way. The Tokyo Frog Kings were a distant third with 419, and New York Breakers brought up the rear with 296.5 points.<\/p>\n

Tough fight brings bright results: @calicondors_isl secured the 1st place with 507 points today. @isl_londonroar was a bit slower and is able to grab the 2nd place and @tokyofrogkings came in 3rd. All the teams were on their best today, but it\u2019s necessary to mention a great passion showed by @nybreakers. Thanks for the show and keep fighting! The best is yet to come? #ISL #AquaPower #ISL2020 #ISwimLeagueS02 #ISwimLeague<\/a><\/p>\n
