Women's Wrestling Signs University World Champion

The Missouri Baptist University women's wrestling team has signed standout women's wrestler Stephany Lee, a native of Honolulu, Hawaii. Lee's credentials are very impressive, highlighted with her 2004 championship at the University World Championships.

She has also placed numerous times at the United States Open, United States World Team Trials, was the Sunkist Open International Champion in 2005, and finished at the top of the podium at the 2006 Women's College Nationals while wrestling for Missouri Valley College. Lee is expected to be one of the favorites to win the Olympic Team Trials this summer and will be looking to represent the United States in the 2008 Olympic Games.

“Stephany will be placed in a leadership role, and she is more than willing to meet the challenge,” said MBU Head Coach Brian Jackson.
