On day one, Cali opened up a big lead and then could only watch as LA inched back into the competition and took the lead after the 400 freestyles. Cali then won both medley relays to surge back in front, but the advantage was only 24 points heading into day two.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday\u2019s action saw the Current hang around for a while, particularly as\u00a0<strong>Abbey Weitzeil\u00a0<\/strong>won the 100 free and\u00a0<strong>Tom Shields<\/strong>\u00a0took first in the 200 fly, but the superstars from Cali were soon too much for any other team to keep pace.\u00a0<strong>Caeleb Dressel<\/strong>\u00a0won all four of his events, including the 100 free, 100 IM and 50 fly individually and then the 50 freestyle skins. Meanwhile,\u00a0<strong>Kelsi Dahlia<\/strong>\u00a0dominated the women\u2019s 200 fly and later on butterfly skins, and those wins plus jackpots and triumphs by\u00a0<strong>Lilly King<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Beata Nelson<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Coleman Stewart<\/strong>\u00a0helped Cali multiply its lead.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the team battle for third was exciting as well, as DC Trident moved ahead of Aqua Centurions with a jackpot win in the women\u2019s 400 IM before Aqua came right back with a 1-2 in the men\u2019s 400 IM.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/isl-match-4-day-1-kelsi-dahlia-lowers-isl-record-as-condors-off-to-hot-start-again\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Day one recap<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/isl-match-4-day-2-cali-condors-and-la-current-locked-in-tight-battle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Day two recap<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>#2: Jessica Long Earns 29th Paralympic Medal and 16th Gold as Games Conclude<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div style=\"width: 711px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/jessica-long-arena.jpg?fit=720%2C500&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"jessica-long-arena-paralympic\" width=\"701\" height=\"487\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jessica Long &#8212; Photo Courtesy: Arena<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em>By Matthew De George<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Jessica Long<\/strong>\u00a0finished the Tokyo Paralympics with another line item on her unparalleled CV, winning the women\u2019s S8 100 butterfly for her 29th career Paralympic medal and 16th career gold.<\/p>\n<p>Long bested the field with a time of 1:09.87.
