Gibas was Bloomsburg's first premier sprint freestyler in swimming. He was undefeated in dual-meet competition and dominated at the conference championships, winning seven PSAC titles.  Gibas was the NAIA National Champion in the 50-yard freestyle in 1971 and was named the Danny Litwhiler Underclass Athlete of the Year in the same season. During his career he set several all-time conference records and was named All American. Upon graduation, Gibas held four BU team records and is still ranked in the All Time Top Ten 23 years later.
