Tuesday, Jan. 21 the Westside swim team had another match-up, this time with Papillion La-Vista. Once again the girls came out on top while the boys fell just short of their third win of the season.

In the dual, the girls won with a score of 94 to 91, handing the Papillion La-Vista girls squad its first loss of the season. During the meet, the girls took first place in eight of the 12 events. The boys took an 18-point loss with a score of 99 to 81. Unfortunately they were only able to capture first in two of the 12 events, giving the points edge to Papillion La-Vista.
