TUCSON - The Douglas High School swim teams closed out their regular season Thursday with a dual meet at Gila Regional foe Palo Verde.

The Bulldog swimmers posted a 49-33 win while the Lady Bulldogs fell 63-25.

With the regional meet at CDO High School in Tucson this Friday and Saturday, Douglas’ swim coach Michelle Cardenas her team had some of its lowest times of the season Thursday which is not what she wanted to see going into regionals.
