DAHLONEGA – University of North Georgia freshman women's cross country runner Sydney Bolyard has been named the Chick-fil-a Nighthawk of the Week for November 2 as announced by the athletic department on Monday.
 
Bolyard finished as the lead Nighthawk as the University of North Georgia cross country team finished in second place in the Peach Belt XC Preview Saturday on the UNG Cross Country Course. Bolyard ran a 18:28, her collegiate best and tenth fastest 5K time in program history, to finish in fourth overall, finishing seven seconds ahead of Karmen LeRoy in sixth place.
 
The Nighthawk of the Week title sponsor is Chick-fil-a of Dahlonega, with each week's winner being treated to a free combo meal at the Dahlonega restaurant.  Located 488 Morrison Moore Parkway East, Chick-fil-a loves to give back to the local area and is proud to be a community partner with UNG Athletics.
 
Beginning in the fall of 2014, the UNG athletic department began honoring one student-athlete each Monday morning as the Nighthawk of the Week. The award is chosen each Sunday evening by an award selection committee made up of members of the UNG athletics administrative staff.
