Athletic Excellence

The state’s returning Gatorade Player of the Year, the 5-foot-11 sophomore guard led the Cadets to a 35-1 record and both the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference championship and the District of Columbia State Athletic Association tournament title this past season. A two-time WCAC Player of the Year, Fudd averaged 26.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.9 blocks per game. Ranked as the No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2021 by ProspectsNation.com, she was the only sophomore member of the gold-medal winning U.S. team at the FIBA Under-17 World Cup in Belarus last July. She is also the first sophomore in history to be a Naismith Award finalist.
