[edit]Stephany attended Moanalua High School in Honolulu, Hawaii and Missouri Valley College in Marshall, Missouri.[1][2]
Stephany defeated Ali Bernard 2 to 0 at the finals of the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials.[3]
Less than 48 hours after the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials, Stephany became married.[4]
On June 28, 2012, Lee was stripped of her Olympic spot after she tested positive for marijuana. It was her second positive, the first in 2009. As a result of the sanctions, Lee was forced to retroactively forfeit any honors and medals from 2009. She also earned a one-year suspension. Bernard was named the replacement to represent the United States at the 72 kg class.[5]
