LSU coach Jay Clark recently gave an update about Olivia Dunne's fitness status before the team's away clash against Auburn. In a press conference, Clark stated that Dunne's condition is quite painful and the medical team of the program has helped the knee injury calm down a bit.

Additionally, he also mentioned Dunne's impressive start to the season where she competed in three events for the team, and appreciated the effort she was putting in. Jay Clark said (via LSU Sports YouTube channel, 15:28 onwards):

"It's an extremely unusual thing that she's dealing with and it just hurts. You know she can force herself to function with it but it's very painful. We shut her down and immobilized and trying to get it to calm down and I think there's been some progress and I still remain cautiously optimistic that she could become available again at least on bars."

"She started out the year in a really good spot and contributed on three events and you know in many ways doing much more than she had done in any point in her career," he added.

During the conversation, Clark also said that Olivia Dunne has been quite positive and engaged despite this knee injury.
