Match 7 will be the deciding factor on whether or not DC Trident has the chance to advance to the semifinals. All they need to do is beat one team here to have a shot, and with the likes of Amy Bilquist, Zach Apple, Siobhan Haughey, and Jacob Pebley it is within their grasp.
We will also see races from Energy Standard’s Sarah Sjostrom, last year’s ISL league MVP, who did not compete in match 6 due to injury.

Recap: Annika Johnson, Live Analysis: Ben Dornan
Women’s 100 Butterfly
Pulling off her second win of the season, Anastasiya Shkrudai was quick enough to take the victory, as she did in match 4. DC didn’t have the start to the meet the needed, getting both swims in the event jackpotted.
Louise Hansson for Toronto was within grasp of her second victory, ultimately out touching Energy Standard’s Madeline Banic at the very end to take second place. Banic’s third place finish made Energy Standard the top finishers in this event. Rebecca Smith improved upon her match 6 time by half a second, to finish fourth for the Titans, allowing them to go 2-4.
Men’s 100 Butterfly
As the second highest rated man in the event this year, Chad le Clos clinched his second victory of the season in the 100 fly here. Following Shkurdai’s lead, le Clos was quick enough to jackpot three of the bottom swimmers including teammate Kregor Zirk, along with Toronto’s Finlay Knox and DC’s Abrahm Devine.
In the race for second place, Iron came out on top in this event as they were 2nd and 4th from Nicholas Santos and Ramon Klenz, respectively. Shane Ryan, a traditional backstroker, delivered for Toronto and performed the best he has in his third 100 fly this season, finishing third here for 6 points.
Women’s 200 Backstroke
Emily Seebohm was up against arguably the toughest 200 backstroke field yet this season, going up against Amy Bilquist and Lisa Bratton who have each won the event twice this season so far. Seebohm made the most of it and became a double winner herself, taking the top spot in the event.
Seebohm is one of few Australians to make it to the ISL this year and certainly made the most of it with this swim, jackpotting three swimmers and giving her team 15 points. Going 2-3 was Toronto, yield 7 points from Bratton and 6 from Kylie Masse for a total of 13. Former double winner Bilquist scored DC’s only points with 5, while Daria Zevina scored 4 for Iron.
Men’s 200 Backstroke
Energy Standard is not playing around this morning. With this win from Evgeny Rylov, they have won the first four events, having jackpotted swimmers in three of them. Rylov here was a little bit slower than he has been this season but it was enough for him to win 9 points for the win and to steal a few points form Iron’s Robert Glinta and DC’s Mohamed Samy. Kliment Kolesnikov almost made it 1-2 for Energy Standard but made just missed out, placing third for 6 points.
Toronto and DC won second-place team points here, with Jacob Pebley’s second place 7 points tying Toronto’s fifth and sixth place 7 point total.
Women’s 200 Breaststroke
Kelsey Wog decided that it was time for Toronto to take a win this morning as she raced her way to a 2:17.13 victory. The swim maintains her spot as second fastest performer this season, behind only Lilly King. She also remains undefeated this season with her third win in the event. Wog notched an important 15 points here, jackpotting one swimmer from each other team.
Teammate Ulyett helped Wog out here, coming in third to bring the team total up to 21 points. After winning the first four events this morning, Energy Standard actually lost this event, with only Breeja Larson scoring 4 points for the team.
Men’s 200 Breaststroke
Acting once again as a breaststroke weapon for the Toronto Titans, Anton McKee picked up his second 200 breast win this season. McKee was a little slower that his 2:01.7 from Match 2, but he was still fast enough to give Toronto their second event win in a row this morning. McKee received 12 points as he jackpotted one swimmer each from Iron and DC. The double win for Toronto is just what they needed to set an early lead ahead of Iron and DC.
Erik Persson of Toronto allowed his team to go 1-2 and he got his top finish of the season so far. Energy Standard actually came second in the event from 5th and 6th with 7 points.
