Olivia Dunne and the No.1 nationally ranked and top-seeded LSU Gymnastics team won the 2025 Penn State Regional after finishing on top of April 5th's regional final.
LSU's score on the day marked the first time in program history that the Tigers scored over a 198 in both regional rounds. With the victory, the team claimed their 15th regional championship title in program history, adding to the legacy of excellence.
The program also earned their 34th NCAA Championship appearance overall and their third consecutive appearance in the NCAA Championships. "We understand that we need to be better to win a championship, but that's not what tonight required." head coach Jay Clark said after the win.
Dunne continues to have an impact off the mat
Livvy Dunne's college career is coming to an end in the next couple of weeks, but the charismatic athlete continues to cause an impac off the mat, with multiple commercial deals and a hug fan base that includes 5.3 million followers on Instagram and 8 million followers on TikTok.
Dunne has launched her own signature Cotton Candy Accelerator flavor and personalized can that is available nationally via Amazon and at Rouses Markets locations in Louisiana. This is part of a deal that Livvy signed with Accelerator Active Energy in 2023.
Not only has the gymnast and social media powerhouse being promoting the sugar-free energy drink, but she also became an investor in the business and connected dots between Accelerator and her own Livvy Fund to partner with other women as well.
Livvy es the torch to freshman Kailin Chio
Olivia Dunne is gracefully stepping into a new role, that of mentor, hype woman, and bestie to freshman standout Kailin Chio. The pair has quickly become inseparable both on and off the mat, and fans can't get enough of their blossoming friendship.
From synchronized road-trip selfies to poolside bikini days in Louisiana, Dunne and Chio's bond has captivated Tiger Nation. Most recently, they shared a backstage moment during the NCAA regionals in Salt Lake City, where they snapped a now-viral kissy-face selfie, proof that Dunne may be sidelined with a knee injury, but she's still very much at the heart of the team.
While Dunne's final season has taken a bittersweet turn, Kailin Chio is charging forward at full speed. The 18-year-old freshman sensation has already collected an unprecedented nine SEC Freshman of the Week honors, solidifying her status as one of the most exciting new talents in college gymnastics.
