Auburn gymnastics is down one of its best athletes against Kentucky.

Suni Lee is taking a rest against the Wildcats. Coach Jeff Graba released a statement ahead of his team's away meet against Kentucky on Saturday explaining that Lee is out of the lineup, but it's not injury-related.

"Due to the schedule changes this weekend and training plan, we've decided it's best to rest Suni today," Graba said. "She's excited to compete against Penn State on Friday in her final meet at Neville Arena."

Auburn was originally scheduled to take on Kentucky in Lexington on Friday, but because of the threat of severe weather in the area, the meet was postponed to 11 a.m. Saturday.

The Tigers close their season against Penn State on Friday (7 p.m. CT). It'll be the last home meet of Lee's career, as she announced before the start of the season that this would be her final year competing for Auburn. Seniors like Derrian Gobourne will be performing for the last time in Neville Arena, too.
