Eagle River’s Alev Kelter and the U.S. Women’s Rugby team won the bronze medal in their victory over Australia on Tuesday. The Australians led 12-7 but at the end of the match, team member Alex Sedrick ran most of the length of the field to score for the win.
The women’s team had lost to defending champions New Zealand on Monday, putting them in the running for the bronze.
Kelter has been an athlete all her life. When she was 14 years old, Kelter won a spot on the U.S. national soccer development program and later captained the U18 U.S. national hockey team, winning back-to-back gold medals at the International Ice Hockey Federation’s Women’s World Championships. After her senior year at Wisconsin, she tried out for the Olympic ice hockey team, but didn’t make the final cut. She started playing rugby at age 22, and competed in the U.S. women’s rugby team in the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.
Her personal website says she is dedicated to social justice, inclusion, and body positivity.
Never surrender Never back down she has got to be a MAGA lady. Congratulations to our Alaska ladies union all GODS special Forces, absolutely a much needed story must read, WOW ma’am your heart has touched us all thank you team.
I heard an interview of her and my guess is that she is conservative. She is quite amazing and a wonderful roll model!
Remind again how “…dedicated to social justice, inclusion” works for anyone, including bronze-medalist high performers?
.
“Former Google executive Ryan Olohan obtained a settlement with the tech giant last week after the company fired him for allegedly not being “inclusive.
…Olohan was Google’s managing director of food, beverage, and restaurants. Google’s Employee Investigations team explained Olohan was not inclusive because he “show[ed] favoritism towards high performers”.

Can’t make this stuff up…
First Olympic medal for Team USA in Rugby in 100 years (Male or Female) they also defeated the #1 Ranked team in the world (England) and the # 5 (Australia) on the road to the Bronze. I don’t think the average sports fan realizes how big of a win this is for USA Rugby overall not just Alaska
