SPC Ashlee Byrge

Rugby Sevens

Ashlee started playing rugby in 2012 when she and two friends helped start Utah’s first high school women’s rugby team. After receiving offers to play soccer and rugby at college, she had to decide – and after playing in the first ever USA Rugby High School All American game, she chose rugby. She played at Davenport University under a Division 2 full-ride scholarship, then transferred to Central Washington under a Division 1 scholarship. Since her college days, she has trained full time at the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center with the USA Eagles, and traveled with the USA Falcons to Brisbane, Australia, and to Okinawa, Japan, to compete against the other nations.
