Student-Athlete of the Week: Fulton’s Riley Trude

FULTON, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — When Fulton head coach Dan Gilmore was asked how he would describe sophomore Riley Trude, he said: “Consistent, respectful, responsible, just a great teammate.”

In just her sophomore season, Trude has been crucial to the team’s morale by batting 500 with 16 runs scored and 24 hits this season for the Red Dragons’ offense.

“All the competition we had, it just made me a way better, way better hitter,” Trude said.

With 74 hits over her three years on Varsity, Riley is well on her way to cementing her name in the record books for Fulton.

“She’s a top contributor in basically every hitting statistic in the section,” Gilmore said. “But she brings a lot more to the team. Besides hitting fields, she always comes with a positive energy.”

For Riley, helping this team get back to the top of the league is at the top of her priority list.

“I want us to keep going like last year,” she said. “We won the league this year, we can still win the league.
