The Olympic gold medalist scored her first 10 on her signature event, where she is considered the best in the world.
It is just the sixth perfect score in Auburn history and the first since 2004. Sarah Wentworth was the first Auburn gymnast to record a 10 on bars back in 2000.
Becky Erwin recorded the program’s first 10 on Feb. 27, 1993, on floor. She hit another 10 on March 10, 1993, making her the only Auburn gymnast to record multiple 10’s.
Sally Cantrell and Rachael Tarantino were the last two gymnast to join the elite club before Lee. Cantrell scored a 10 on beam on Jan. 20, 2002, and Tarantino scored Auburn’s latest 10 on beam on Jan. 7, 2004
