Celebrating Local Athletes: TRIA’s Athlete of the Month Program

Max Duncan and Lucy Schuller

At TRIA, we believe in the power of community and the importance of supporting the next generation. That’s why we’re proud to sponsor the "Athlete of the Month" program at Bend High School, recognizing outstanding student-athletes who excel both on and off the field.

Every month, we highlight two incredible athletes whose dedication, sportsmanship, and hard work inspire their teammates and community. These young leaders remind us that success isn’t just about wins and losses—it’s about perseverance, teamwork, and striving for excellence in everything you do.

Why We Support High School Athletes

As a local insurance agency, TRIA is committed to giving back to the community we serve. Supporting student-athletes through this program is our way of showing appreciation for the values they bring to their teams and our town. Whether it’s on the football field, volleyball court, or in the classroom, these athletes embody the spirit of excellence we aim to protect in every policy we provide.

How the Program Works

Each month, High Schools in Bend nominate two athletes who have demonstrated exceptional skill, leadership, and dedication in their respective sports. These athletes receive public recognition and a small token of appreciation from TRIA as a way to celebrate their achievements and inspire others.

Max and Lucy: January’s Stars

This January, we proudly recognized Max Duncan, a wide receiver for the varsity football team, and Lucy Schuller, an outside hitter for the varsity volleyball team. Max has shown incredible agility and precision on the field, while Lucy’s power and precision have made her an unstoppable force on the court. Their hard work and commitment inspire their peers and make Bend High School proud.
