Stephanie Brown Trafton, the 2008 Beijing Olympic champion is rounding into shape once again, at the right time. Setting an AR in Maui should remind a few that Stephanie has been in the gold medal circle before and has the levers to put the discus into the stratosphere. Should be fun in Eugene and London.
