MEGHAN FREESE '04 is one of the finest sprint freestylers in the history of the Bucknell women's swimming program. After 12 years in the books, Freese smashed fellow Hall-of-Famer Margaret Grunow's school records in the 50- and 100-yard freestyle events. Freese also graduated ranked No. 2 all-time in the 100 backstroke, and she helped break three more Bucknell records in relays.

A three-time All-Patriot League performer, Freese turned in one of the best Patriot League Championship meets in league history in 2003, when she swept the 50 and 100 freestyles and also won gold medals with three different relays while helping Bucknell to the team title in the very first championship meet ever held in the brand-new Kinney Natatorium. That would be the first of four straight Patriot League crowns for the Bison women's swimming team.

Freese won three straight Patriot League titles in the 50 free, and she captured the 100 free in 2003 and 2004. She capped off her career by winning the Christy Mathewson Award as the top athlete in her class at Bucknell.
