What came first for Alev Kelter -- learning how to play rugby or making Team USA?
It was 2013 and Alev Kelter, then 23, stood on top of a mountain near her house in Eagle River, Alaska, clutching her snowboard with both hands. Her mind was elsewhere. She was replaying the just-concluded Olympic ice hockey team tryouts over and over in her head. She had been so close. But she'd failed to make the final cut for the 2014 Sochi Games.
Alev had a plan -- she was going to make the Winter Olympics, and then turn around and make the soccer team for the 2016 Summer Games in Rio.
