LSU reached the 2023 NCAA Championship Finals last year in Fort Worth, finishing 4th nationally. As they look to acquire the coveted prize this year, the Tigers have unveiled their strong roster for the first week. Alongside the undisputed queen Olivia Dunne, LSU has Elena Arenas, Seirra Ballad, Annie Beard, and other world-class gymnasts in their wings. While Elena and Dunne are the seniors, Ballard is a graduate student, and Annie a sophomore. Atop was the caption penned as follows – “My goodness LSU is so stacked” indicating the sheer volume, qualitative and quantitative benchmarks they’ve set.

Livvy will compete in the all-around category, and joining her will be Arenas, Beard, Haleigh Bryant, Ashley Cowan, Amari Drayton, Aleah Finnegan, Kiya Johnson, KJ Johnson, Konnar McClain, Alexis Jeffrey, and Bryce Wilson. Graduate student Cammy Hall will take part in Vault and Floor and will be joined by Chase Brock and Jillian Hoffman. All the aforementioned gymnasts boast incredible achievements, and with Dunne leading them to settle the ‘business’ and bring it home immaculately, in a way they see fit, Ohio State has a lot to shudder about.
