Olivia Dunne recently opened up about her team LSU's chances for the NCAA title which is scheduled in April. Dunne returned to the gymnastics arena last year in December for LSU Tigers' first event of the season, Gym 101 in Louisiana.
In an interview with SEC Network, Dunne expressed her thoughts on what it would mean for LSU to win the NCAA title. She said:
"It would mean the world to this team and this university. It's an unprecedented area for LSU gym to win a national championship."
Olivia Dunne was the youngest athlete to qualify for the International Elite in 2014 and since then has been one of the most talented gymnasts in the circuit. Dunne is also one of the key members of the LSU Tigers.
LSU has never won a national title in gymnastics and would be eying for their maiden NCAA title next month. They have already started the preparations for the season with Gym 101. The event started on December 16, 2023 will continue for four months up to March 23, 2024.
During the event, Olivia Dunne was seen giving it her all as she executed two somersaults with a flip-landing. Her performance was also picked up by the Tigers for the preview of the upcoming season. The preview featured a total of 37 performances by nine athletes.
