DAHLONEGA - University of North Georgia (UNG) women's cross country runner Ahna Hicks has been named as the Chick-fil-a Nighthawk of the Week.

For the third straight meet, Hicks was the top finisher for the Nighthawks in the USC Upstate Invitational on Saturday. She finished 30^th overall among more than primarily Division I 100 competitors with a time of 18:38.1, which is a personal best for the freshman.  
 
The Nighthawk of the Week title sponsor is Chick-fil-a of Dahlonega, with each week's winner being treated to a complimentary combo meal at the Dahlonega restaurant. Located at 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 leadership team.
 
The Nighthawks will travel to Milledgeville, Ga. on Saturday for the 2025 Peach Belt Conference Championship race set to start at 9:00 a.m.
