Weekly BGHS Swim/Dive Update - April 28, 2024
And just like, that is a wrap on the Bishop Gorman Swim & Dive regular season. The Gaels closed out the season falling to State powerhouse Palo Verde on both the girl's (226-71) and boy's side (190-104). Neither Gael's side was at full strength for final dual meet and the coaches are confident things will be much closer when it counts in a couple weeks. Full results are uploaded into TU and can be found here.
The boys finished the regular season with a 3-1 dual meet record, while the ladies finished 1-3.
We now turn our attention to the NIAA Post Season!
