NCAA Gymnastics Regionals 2023 Preview
One of the biggest names in U.S. gymnastics remains unknown for the NCAA regionals as of Thursday morning.
Auburn gymnast and recent Olympic gold medalist Suni Lee remains doubtful for the regionals after missing the past three meets for the Tigers. She confirmed via social media that she had a “non-gymnastics healthy issues” on March 9. Auburn head coach Jeff Graba didn’t have a final answer on Lee’s status early this week.
“We have three days left before the meet and we’ll play it by ear,” Graba said via the Opelika Auburn News’ Justin Lee. “We always prepare for both scenarios. And I don’t think you have to worry too much if she’s ready to go; I think we know what to do with our lineups at that point. We’ve been really doing a good job of trying to prepare in case she doesn’t go. So nothing new on that, and that’s a doctor decision more than it’s a coach decision.”
