 It has been a joy to follow Kristen and Aleph's journey to Team USA, said Senator Lisa Murkowski. Their years of training and dedication serve as an inspiration to all Alaskans. All of us back home are proud of you and look forward to watching your hard work pay off in Paris. Congratulations to you both. It's an honor to represent my country and my home of Alaska, said Aleph Kelter. Rugby sevens is a fast-paced and rugged sport that requires many skill sets. I attribute my determination, grit, and willingness to be a true team player to my Alaskan roots.
