LEWISBURG, Pa. - Bucknell junior Meghan Freese (New Freedom, Pa. Susquahannock) has received the November Athlete of the Month for swimming from local co-sponsors K.I.C.K.S. Marshall Arts for Women and Curves for Women.
The award was announced at the monthly Bucknell Women's Sports Luncheon, held Thursday, Dec. 5. Sponsored by K.I.C.K.S.

The other winners for the month of November, as selected by their respective coaches, were freshman Lindsey Geosits for basketball and senior Theresa Dennis for cross country.
Freese is a third year participant with the Bison and a two-year letter winner. The junior was named Patriot League Swimmer of the Week on Nov. 26 after setting the pool record in the 50 free with a time of 24.26, which is the fastest time in the PL this season.
