Livvy Dunne Leads LSU Gymnastics in Season Opener

Livvy Dunne, star gymnast for the LSU Tigers, returned for her fifth and final season, showcasing her skills in a strong opening meet against Iowa State, where LSU triumphed 197.300-194.100. Dunne earned a score of 9.825 on the balance beam and 9.875 on the floor, impressing fans and her boyfriend, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes, who was in attendance. As a graduate student, Dunne aims to prove critics wrong who labeled her a 'benchwarmer' last season, demonstrating her determination and talent. Following their victory, the Tigers are set to face the No. 7 ranked Florida Gators in a highly anticipated match on January 17. With a significant social media presence, Dunne continues to inspire young athletes while balancing her academic and athletic commitments. This season marks a pivotal moment for her as she seeks to leave a lasting legacy in college gymnastics.
