Olivia Dunne outlines her goals for 2025 with 4-word message ahead of NCAA Gymnastics Championships

Olivia Dunne has set her goals clear for 2025 as she awaits her final and fifth season with LSU Gymnastics. The gymnast won her maiden NCAA Gymnastics Championships in 2024 and is looking to add one more title in her final year.

Dunne shared a series of pictures from last month's LSU intra-squad meet as she bid farewell to 2024 and claimed her goal for the new year was the same as last year - to win the national title with the Lady Tigers.

"New year 🔜 same goal," she captioned the post.

Dunne competed on the floor and uneven bars during the 2024 season, averaging impressive scores of 9.857 and 9.838 respectively. She scored a career-high of 9.900 on the floor twice en route to LSU's national triumph at the Podium Challenge and NCAA Fayetteville Regional Second Round.

While the 22-year-old didn't compete during the NCAA Finals against California, Utah, and Florida, she was honored with the Coaches Award for being available for the team at every moment. The Lady Tigers were led by Haleigh Bryant and Aleah Finnegan in the Finals, scoring 198.2250 to clinch the program's first-ever national title.

Dunne was over the moon following the victory and said it had rejuvenated her love for the sport. The NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) star announced she wanted to feel that happiness again, prompting her to make use of her extra-year of COVID-19 eligibility and return for a fifth and final year for one more shot at national glory, which starts on January 3rd against Iowa State.
