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

Hicks was named the Peach Belt Conference's Freshman of the Year after her performance at the PBC Championship on Saturday. She finished 4^th overall  with a 5K time of 18:58, just 16 seconds behind the individual conference champion.

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 next run on Nov. 8 at the NCAA Division II Southeast Regional in Wingate, N.C.
