She won her seventh-straight bars title with a 9.975 as she debuted the Nabieva during her routine. It was the first time any collegiate gymnast has done the skill in competition.
Lee capped the evening with a career-high 9.975 on floor for her third-straight floor title. Lee and the Tigers went on to break the program record on floor with a 49.625.
