LEWISBURG, Pa. -- Bucknell freshman Jackie Feinthel has received the Subway Athlete of the Month Award for the month of December in swimming & diving.
The award was announced at the monthly Bucknell Women's Sports Luncheon, held Monday, Feb. 4. Sponsored by Lewisburg Subway, the luncheon recognizes one outstanding student-athlete from each Bucknell women's sport in season at that time. The other winners for the month of December, as selected by their respective coaches, were senior Monique LeBlanc in basketball and senior Andrea Nyce in track & field.
Feinthel has helped Bucknell to a 5-2 record, and a 4-2 mark in the Patriot League.
