LEWISBURG, Pa. - Bucknell track and field's junior Megan Hathaway (North Tonawanda, N.Y./Niagara Wheatfield) and freshman Rebecca Frey (Bethlehem, Pa./Liberty) were named Patriot League Track Athlete of the Week and Rookie of the Week, respectively, on the women's side, the league announced Tuesday.
This past Saturday at the Gulden Relays in Lewisburg, Pa., Hathaway ran the lead-off position for Bucknell's 1,600 sprint medley relay squad that ran the fourth-fastest time in program history (4:11.46) for second place. Hathaway went on to notch the top finish for the Bison in the 500-meter dash, clocking a time of 1:17.32 for second place overall.

Frey's Rookie of the Week honor was her second of the season; she also earned the award on Dec. 11, for her performance at the Bison Opener. This past weekend, Frey won the pole vault at the Gulden Relays, posting an ECAC-qualifying mark of 11-9 ¾ to tie her height from the Bison Opener on Dec. 1. With this mark, Frey sits fourth on Bucknell's all-time list for the event.
The Bucknell men's and women's track and field teams are now set to prepare for the Bucknell Heptagonal at home this Saturday, Jan. 19.
