T&T’s Dy­lan Carter helped his LA Cur­rent to a third-placed med­ley re­lay fin­ish in Group B of the in­au­gur­al In­ter­na­tion­al Swim­ming League on Sat­ur­day at the West­side Aquat­ic Cen­tre in Lewisville, Texas.

Carter (46.95 sec­onds) swam the fi­nal leg of the Cur­rent II men’s 4x 100 me­tres med­ley quar­tet, which al­so com­prised Matthew Gre­vers (50.77), Fe­lipe Li­ma (57.32) and Jack Con­ger (50.65), to se­cure a time of three min­utes, 25.69 sec­onds.

Lon­don Roar’s Guil­herme Gui­do, Kir­ill Prigo­da, Vi­ni Lan­za and Kyle Chalmers took top spot in three min­utes, 23.65 sec­onds while LA Cur­rent I’s Ryan Mur­phy, Will Li­con, Tom Shields and Michael Chad­wick took bronze in 3:24.69 min­utes.

In the 4x100 me­tres freestyle re­lay, Carter teamed up with Blake Pieroni, Shields and Matthew Josa for the fifth spot in 3:11.62 min­utes as part of the LA Cur­rent I team.

Nathan Adri­an, Ryan Held, Gre­vers and Chad­wick won for LA Cur­rent II in 3:08.00 while Lon­don Roar II took sec­ond in 3:08.35 and Team Iron third in 3:0893.

At the end of Sat­ur­day’s events, Lon­don Roar (253 points) held a 19-point lead over the LA Cur­rent (234) while Iron (186) and New York Break­ers (131) were third and fourth re­spec­tive­ly.

The ISL is a pro­fes­sion­al swim­ming league which fea­tures a team-based com­pe­ti­tion for­mat with fast-paced race ses­sions which will con­clude with the fi­nals in De­cem­ber.

Sat­ur­day’s meet was the first for 23-year-old Uni­ver­si­ty of South­ern Cal­i­for­nia grad­u­ate Carter, who won a bronze medal in the men’s 100m back­stroke at the 2019 Pan Amer­i­can Games in Li­ma, Pe­ru, in Au­gust. Be­fore that, Carter com­pet­ed at the 18th FI­NA World Cham­pi­on­ship in Ko­rea and was 16th in the men’s 100m back­stroke and 13th in the 50m but­ter­fly.
