Olivia Dunne and the LSU Tigers are just weeks away from the start of the 2024 NCAA gymnastics season and are gearing up to be their best on the beam, bars and floor next year.

The team, which finished fourth nationally and wrapped up the NCAA championship last year with an overall score of 197.525, will face off against Ohio State University on Friday, Jan. 5, in Baton Rouge.

The SI Swimsuit model, who was photographed in Puerto Rico for the 2023 magazine and captured as a rookie in Portugal for next May’s issue, shared her version of a popular social media trend as she and her teammates showed off their competition looks, hair and makeup.

Dunne donned a black leotard with a lightweight athletic quarter-zip on top. Her hair was tossed into a floppy bun with the roots braided back and some purple ribbon delicately weaved in.

The 21-year-old, who is dating Pittsburgh Pirates player Paul Skenes, did the signature dance that goes along with the popular audio—a snippet from “Jackie Brown" by Brent Faiyaz—and shared it as a reel with her 4.5 million Instagram fans. She was joined by two of her teammates who also donned sparkly full-glam looks and purple, black or silver hues.

“Meet szn 🔜 #lsu #gymnastics #tumbling,” the New Jersey native captioned the Dec. 26 post.

The social media star, who has racked up a following of more than 7.8 million on TikTok, is the highest-paid female college athlete in the country.
