Will Suni Lee compete against Utah at the Los Angeles Regional?

Arguably the most significant question hovering over the Los Angeles Regional is whether or not Suni Lee will compete. Results at the regional will determine a quarter of the teams that will compete at nationals in Fort Worth, Texas, this April, and whether or not No. 12 Auburn can spring an upset over either No. 4 UCLA or No. 5 Utah largely rests on Lee's availability.
