The NCAA gymnastics is back for its annual season to determine the best collegiate team in the field. The nearly 4-month-long season marks its commencement in early January and the athletes are on a practice spree. From Jade Carrey in Oregon to Olivia Dunne in Louisiana, the elated updates have taken over.

Today, for the LSU gymnastics team, it is a launching event in LA. Having put on an impressive performance the previous year at the showcase, the Tigers seem to be gearing up for something even better. And as the team took to the mats, Livvy did not hold back. A glistening practice session or a fit check, the young sensation has it all covered.

Olivia Dunne gives a sneak peek

On the 16th of December, the LSU gymnastics team will make their presence for the first event of the 2024 NCAA season. And as per the LSU Gym Instagram updates, the session seemed to be right on track with Balance Beam taking over. Among Sierra Ballard, Haleigh Bryant, and Konnor McClain, Olivia, a major in Bars took to the Beam for a graceful performance. “Getting ready for Gym 101 tomorrow!!” the page captioned starting the practice session. Olivia Dunne, doing her part, put up 3 careful flips on the beam to land well.

The gymnast further shared a look at the “Intrasquad Leo>” with its signature yellow and purple colors embossed with glitters on the logo. Olivia proudly posed with the costume as the tiger stripes hugged the design. Following the leotards in line and practicing in session, the LSU Tigers have only one aim in mind; improved performance.

The Tigers await a spectacle

The Gymnastics 101 Exhibition is a preview event for the upcoming gymnastics season for the LSU team. For 2022, the team had skipped a beat to fall off the Top 10 for the first time in a decade. But for 2023, the team’s performance was nothing short of impressive. 9 athletes put up a total of 37 routines. The team ultimately finished fourth with a total team score of 197.525 during the finals.

I am so excited for one last go around and hopefully make it my best one yet.”
