Olivia Dunne recently shared a few glimpses of her 'Girls Night' with LSU teammates, including Chase Brock, Alyona Shchennikova, and Leah Miller. Following her reunion with her family on Thanksgiving in her home state of New Jersey, Dunne returned to Baton Rouge to embrace the festive vibes with her teammates.
Dunne has been making waves with her on the mat, preparing for a thrilling year to come. The social media sensation and Tigers' gymnast announced her comeback to LSU for her super senior year (fifth year) after assisting the team in lifting the 2024 NCAA National Gymnastics Championships for the first time in 2024.
While the California and Utah women's gymnastics squads posted 197.850 and 197.800 points to secure places behind the Tigers' squad, the Gold and Purple pack bagged a staggering score of 198.225 points. Ahead of the upcoming season, poised to kick off on January 3, 2024, Dunne was seen embracing the festive vibes with her teammates, including Brock, Shchennikova, Miller, and Ashley Cowan.
While Shchennikova was seen donning a black t-shirt with a red and black checkered short skirt and Brock and Miller in red tracks and sweaters, Dunne opted for a green top with white ribbons on it. She later changed to red sweatpants and a long-sleeved t-shirt and completed the look with a white bow in her hair.
Dunne shared a picture from the evening and wrote:
"Girls Night."
Dunne also hosted a Kahoot game for the team, which Cowan won. The super senior posted a picture with the junior and wrote:
"The winner of my ultimate 'Kahoot' game."
