EUGENE, Ore. — For years, Deajah Stevens dreamed of finishing in the top three at the 2016 U.S. Olympic Trials and advancing to the Summer Games in Brazil.
For the last couple of months, the UO sophomore has begun to flash the potential of doing so. But, Stevens was asked Sunday, when did it seem like her dream actually could come true?
"It's just becoming a reality just now," Stevens said, disbelief still in her voice.
Indeed, Stevens was having to wrap her head around the idea that she is a 2016 Olympian.
