Hawaii’s Stephany Lee makes U.S. Olympic wrestling team

Hawaii native Stephany Lee is going to London as a member of the U.S. Olympic wrestling team.

She upset top seeds in the U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Iowa City Saturday, defeating Iris Smith, 4-2, 2-0, in the final match of women’s freestyle at 158.5 pounds. 

Lee, a Moanalua High School graduate, said her father Stuart still hasn’t gotten his passport because he was waiting for her to clinch a spot in London. She did just that, stunning 2008 Olympian Ali Bernard 3-1, 6-0.

"He’s like ‘Give me a reason to get my passport. I want results.’ So, there are the results," Lee said.
