Aaron Ghiglieri
Born Nov. 17, 1993 to parents, Andrew and Leslie, Aaron Ghiglieri is a freestyle and butterfly swimmer at the University of Michigan. Ghiglieri is originally from the state of Oregon, where he graduated from Cascade Christian High School. As a student at Cascade Christian Ghiglieri was named to the Honor Roll three times, and won three Oregon state championship titles. In high school Ghiglieri was a member of his high school’s first-year team, and he had only one other teammate. The same year he also found out that he had a sensitivity to gluten, cutting down on much of the wheat and dairy in his diet. At the time of his verbal commitment Ghiglieri added to an already deep Michigan butterfly squad, but he also was a much-needed piece to Michigan’s sprint freestyle. The six-foot Ghiglieri took all five official recruiting visits before deciding on Michigan – he visited Michigan, Wyoming, Texas A&M, Louisville, and Boston University. Ghiglieri used his redshirt his first season at Michigan, and he’s currently a RS sophomore and biology major in the College of Literature, Science and the Arts.
