Faustas Garbenis '21 Recruiting Profile

Hello,
My name is Faustas Garbenis, and next year I will be a senior at Waterford Kettering High School.  I have been swimming since I was 5 years old.  When I was 9 years old, I was diagnosed with Type I Diabetes.  It was a huge adjustment to manage by diabetes with the rigors of swim practice and meets, but I was able to do so with constant monitoring.  I feel that I would be a great fit on the team, as I am positive, enthusiastic and hard working.  

My favorite events are the 50 and 100 freestyle.  Recently, I swam a 47.31 in the 100 freestyle at the Oakland County meet and a 22.11 at the Lakes Valley Conference Meet.  I was planning to taper for the D1 state meet, and I believe that I would have improved on those times.  My goal times were 46.99 for the 100 freestyle and 21.89 in the 50 Freestyle or better.

Thank you for your time and consideration.  I look forward to hearing from you soon. I’ll be a great College swimmer!
