The 2024 American Athletic Inc. has unveiled the latest name to join the long list of gymnasts to receive the coveted AAI Award. The LSU Tigers have been nothing short of spectacular this season with their fantastic 25-3 overall record. As Olivia Dunne & Co. waits to kick off their NCAA finals this Thursday, Haleigh Bryant, one of the dominant forces behind LSU’s performances, has been revealed to join the likes of Ashleigh Gnat and Sarah Finnegan. And Livvy can’t hold back on the excitement.
In her latest Instagram story, Livvy shared the original post of the official LSU Gymnastics account to share the feat achieved by her teammate in an emphatic style. Noting that the AAI Award is like the Heisman (the annual award given to each season’s most outstanding college football player), Livvy wrote “kid just won the Heisman of gymnastics” in her IG story.

The award comes as a recognition of her thrilling season. Let us take a look at that.
Bryant continues to pull the Tigers to new heights
Haleigh Bryant entered the NCAA Championships with 31 titles this year. This includes nine on the vault, seven on bars, two on the beam, four on the floor, and nine on the all-around. This also brings her career total to 91 which sixth most in LSU history. Her current 33 career vault titles are the second most in program history while her 28 in the all-around is the most by any LSU gymnast in their career. There is more to it.
She bagged the season slam (a perfect 10 on every event in a single season) this year with her eight perfect scores and 18 in her career, the most by any gymnast in LSU history and the 10th most in the NCAA. Her dazzling season was probably best summarized by coach Jay Clark on a previous occasion.
