Bridget O'Grady (women's swim and dive) and Kendric Siders (men's bowling) were selected in January by the St. Ambrose Sports Information staff as the January Fighting Bees Athletes of the Month.

In January, the men's track and field team was ranked No. 13 in the NAIA National rankings and this prestigious accomplishment earned the Bees the Team of the Month honor. 

O'Grady swam for an impressive feat during the month of January to earn the honor of Athlete of the Month. The Oswego, Ill. native helped her 200 medley relay team to first place in a home dual with Augustana. Individually in the same dual, the junior won the 100 breast stroke and grabbed third in the 100 fly to help her squad defeat Augustana. Earlier in the month of January, O'Grady won both the 100 and 200 breast stroke at the Grinnell Invitational to help her team finish third overall.

Siders has been a dominant force on the men's bowling team to earn the honor of Athlete of the Month. The two-time all-tournament honoree saw a ninth place finish of 376 bowlers at the Kegel Classic in the middle of January as he bowled a 229 tournament average. This finish helped his team place third overall. At the Kohawk Challenge, the Alaskan native placed 13th of 187 bowlers with a 211.8 tournament average and saw a second place team finish. 

In Week One of the NAIA Track and Field National Rankings, St. Ambrose men's track and field was ranked No. 13th as a team overall to earn the Fighting Bees Team of the Month selection. In individual events, St. Ambrose men's shotput was ranked No. 1 overall while the men's 800m run sat in the No. 4 spot. The men's 1K and men's mile were ranked at No. 6 and No. 8, respectively. The SAU men's 3K capped the Bees off in the No. 10 spot. 

Each month, the St. Ambrose Sports Information Department will select a Male and Female Athlete of the Month based on their exceptional accomplishments. A Team of the Month will be chosen as well by the Sports Information staff.
