Paul Skenes' girlfriend, Olivia Dunne, has returned to Louisiana after attending the Pittsburgh Pirates-Cincinnatti Reds matchup at PNC Park on Thursday. Upon her return, she has started to prepare for her fifth and final year at LSU. However, when the night turned young, she decided to hang out with her girls' gang of the LSU Tigers. She wore a chic top and a denim short skirt for Sunday's night out.
She first met with her close friend and LSU gymnast Aleah Finnegan, who participated in the recently concluded Paris Olympics, representing the Philippines. In one of the clips Dunne posted on Snapchat, artistic gymnast Alyona Shchennikova can be seen jumping in fun. She posed for a mirror selfie with Leah Miller and Chase Brock. The group later went to a dance club to enjoy their time.
The LSU Tigers gymnastics team has an important year to look forward to. After winning the national championship in April, the expectations with their star-studded roster have increased to defend the NCAA crown.
Olivia Dunne "not Dunne yet," to return for fifth and final year
After speculation among fans about whether they had seen the last of Livvy Dunne in the college landscape, the social media star left everyone in shock after announcing her return in July via social media.
“This past year I found a renewed love of the sport. I had trained a lot in the off season, so I felt really strong and healthy from the start and ready to contribute,” Dunne said (via LSU website).
“I really enjoyed the dynamic of the team this year and it all came together well. Winning the national championships was a great team accomplishment, but I feel like I have more to give as an individual competitor.”
"No matter how many opportunities come my way off the mat, there’s just something about LSU. And that’s why I’m here to say, I’m not Dunne yet," she said in the video.
Apart from Olivia Dunne, Haleigh Bryant, Sierra Ballard, Chase Brock and Alyona Shchennikova are also returning for their final season with LSU.
