Olivia Dunne’s Team Faces High-Stakes Showdown as Auburn Gears Up for Challenge

The LSU Tigers are riding on a two-game winning streak after their last week’s exploits against Arkansas and Georgia. With record-setting high scores this season, the LSU gymnasts, including Olivia Dunne, are hoping to retain their winning ways. However, they face a strict challenge ahead as they take on the Auburn Tigers this Friday for an SEC showdown. The Auburn athletes look determined to halt LSU’s stellar form and they’ve taken to social media to highlight their impressive training routines.

Auburn boasts some of the best female gymnasts in the country. While they will be met with a tough battle from Olivia Dunne & Co. this Friday, they seem to be handling the pressure just fine for now.

Auburn gymnasts prepping hard to meet Olivia Dunne and team

In their recent series of Instagram stories, the official Auburn Gymnastics accounts gave fans BTS snippets of their elaborate training ahead of the clash against LSU. Captioned “happy Tune in Tuesday!…Here’s your update from The Plains“, the series of short video clips gave Auburn fans an idea of how their athletes are gearing up for the imminent face-off. One of the clips shows liberal arts sophomore student Hannah Hagle executing a perfect dismount off the bars as her teammates cheer her form.

In another clip, the Auburn junior Sara Hubbard is seen graceful on the beam as she demonstrates a perfect triple. The epic background music does justice to her routine. The redshirt freshman Olivia Greaves is seen toiling at the uneven bars in another video clip.

The other clips show graduate student Cassie Stevens and senior Olivia Hollingsworth nailing perfect dismounts from the bars and their teammates don’t hold back on the loud applause either. While Hollingsworth’s video comes with a queen emoji, they will have to make sure Olivia Dunne and LSU’s high-octane performance stays on the sidelines when the two SEC behemoths meet.

LSU gymnasts setting high benchmarks

It’s not just the elder Dunne sister who’s making LSU’s NCAA dreams look bright this season. Haleigh Bryant has been in sensational form and last weekend’s show against the Georgia Bulldogs proved exactly why she’s a force to be reckoned with. With the first perfect 10 on the beam of her career, Bryant is determined to carry LSU on her back and fans are bracing up for another similar display of skills as the team takes on the Auburn athletes.
