“Yeah, I mean it's been done. I think it's an Achilles injury. So, we will move forward. I don't know that it's been scheduled to be repaired or what the date is just yet or anything like that. It was a little bit unusual, but ultimately the result is pretty much the same (17.04 onward).”

“I would say I am a completely different person than when I first started this journey, especially at LSU. I feel like LSU and the culture in Louisiana has molded me into the person I am today. And LSU just produces amazing athletes and National Championship. Period, and yeah I'm just so grateful."

Dunne, who turned up the glamour in a glittery gold sleeveless gown at the awards, also shared why she chose to return for a fifth year. The gymnast revealed that she didn’t want to end her career right after reaching the top by winning the 2024 NCAA Championship title. Since she wanted another shot at a back-to-back victory, she decided to return.
