Suni Lee has been having quite the fantastic year at Collegiate level championships. After winning the women’s individual all-around title at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Lee has found her place at Auburn University.

A freshman, Lee currently is in the team for the Tigers. She led the team into the NCAA championships after nearly four years- as they last qualified in 2016. Consequently, Lee has been named the WCGA Regional Gymnast of the Year (Region 4), the Women’s College Gymnastics Association announced Thursday.
