The Varsity Girls Swim and Dive team hosted University City on Tuesday, January 16. Unfortunately, University City cancelled school due to unsafe weather conditions, resulting in several absent girls. In total, there were only 4 opponents that competed in the meet, leaving Ladue on top in all of their races.
