Livvy Dunne posts photoshoot gallery ahead of 5th year at LSU

Baton Rouge is where the reigning gymnastics national champions call home. After making the program’s third-ever Four on the Floor, LSU broke through and finally took down the crown they were looking for. A few big stars contributed to the effort and some, such as Livvy Dunne, are back for the 2025 season.

Dunne is entering her fifth season with LSU and posted a photo gallery on Instagram from the team’s media day. She captioned the post “5th times the charm!” with a smiling emoji before adding “#superseniorszn.”

Per usual, the trademark crown LSU uses appeared in the photoshoot. Dunne is standing in front of a purple background, showing off a few different poses too. You can check out all seven pictures Dunne posted on Tuesday night below via Instagram.

Dunne announced her decision to come back for another season in early September, taking advantage of the COVID-19 eligibility rules. She could have moved on after LSU won the national championship and would have had plenty of opportunities at her disposal. But Dunne’s desire to win another title is why she ultimately chose to return.

“I really wanted to come back — well, first of all, we won last year, our team made LSU history, first national championship. It was so exciting for, not only our team, but the whole university and that’s a feeling that I want to feel again,” Dunne said in an interview with the New York Post. “It was so special and the bond with the girls, and I really found my love for the sport again, last year, I would say. So that’s one of the main reasons why I wanted to come back.”

LSU will have an exhibition meet on Dec. 16, taking place at the Maravich Center for folks in Baton Rouge to enjoy. The season will not officially begin until the calendar flips to 2025 with a Jan. 3 meet against the Iowa State Cyclones.

SEC play will start on Jan. 17 against Florida, another team that competed for a national championship last season before ultimately finishing in fourth place. The first road trip of the year will be to Fayetteville to face off vs. Arkansas, a semifinalist from a year ago. Rarely are there easy meets when competing against SEC competition.
