Hailey Ladd of Poseidon Swimming made a verbal commitment to swim for the Florida State University Seminoles for 2017-18. Ladd is a senior at Richmond, Virginia’s Trinity Episcopal School. At the 2015 Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association State Meet, Ladd led off Trinity Episcopal’s record-breaking 200 medley relay (in 27.54). She was also a member of Trinity Episcopal quartet that broke the VISAA record in the 400 free relay in 2014. Individually, Ladd placed third in both the 200 free and 500 freestyle events in both her sophomore and junior years.
