“Give Her a Ring”: LSU NCAA Gymnastics Fans Demand D-D Breaux’s Honor After Picture With Coach Jay Clark Goes Viral

It’s a big celebration time in Baton Rouge. The NCAA Gymnastics season has finally ended and the Tigers’ team stands with the most coveted and elusive Championship trophy. Posting a remarkable total of 198.225, the team flew to victory after they climbed from second to first in the final rotation. Their happiness knew no bounds, especially of Head Coach Jay Clark, who said, “This team is full of individuals that have incredible character and integrity”.

With the team since 2012, Clark has seen the women’s team grow from buds. But he somewhat enjoyed the standard set by the coaches he succeeded. Speaking of the coaches, none can skip mentioning the “Dean of Coaches” for whom LSU is what it is now. After LSU’s title claim on Saturday, one personality won more hearts than others.

NCAA Gymnastics blessed their eyes with a heartwarming frame

LSU Gymnastics’ X post reads, “It takes a village. This one is for every past and present member of our program”. The caption was in honor of the coaches who have been the guiding light of the LSU girls for years. Jay Clark held OG coach D-D Breaux by her shoulder and had a warm fan moment. The look on their faces had a mixed expression of ultimate content and excitement. It was the first national title for LSU Gymnastics.

Speaking about D-D, she served LSU from 1978 to 2020, with an array of honors in her resume. She led her teams 35 times to the NCAA Championships and earned 16 NCAA Regional titles during her rule. Receiving an induction into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in 2017 came after she coached 85 All-SEC honors, 239 All-America, and 13 individual nationals. Now a member of LSU’s Athletic Department, D-D didn’t stop garnering respect from her fanbase.

Fans shower good notes on D-D

One NCAA Gymnastics fan appreciated D-D’s relentless efforts towards taking LSU to great heights, and wrote, “Love DD!!!!!!! Geaux Tigahs!!!!”. 

Another fan unabashedly stated that if Breaux hadn’t set the tone, the others couldn’t have made it. Said, “Can’t build a house without the foundation”. 

“Give her a ring !!!!”, said a fan who wanted D-D to receive an honor at this historical win.

One fan stated that the reason behind the meetings getting filled with spectators and fans was this lady. Wrote, “YES!!!! No one worked harder than D-D to get fans to attend meets!”

With “Love me some D-D Breaux”, another fan left an appreciation note.

LSU winning the nationals for the first time and reaching the nationals finals for the 10th time secured their name in history. But more importantly, this victory made several gymnasts reconsider their graduation, like Olivia Dunne.
