Our favorite LSU gymnastics occasion has arrived: picture day! NCAA star Olivia Dunne, who is the highest-paid female college athlete in the country, recreated a viral TikTok sound about how she cheers on her teammates on the big day.

The 20-year-old donned the latest version of the signature sparkly purple-and-silver “LSU Tigers” emblazoned long sleeve leotard. She sat on the floor in front of her phone, which was filming. Off in the distance, teammate Tori Tatum posed in a funky splits position against a classic dark green picture day backdrop as a large camera flash kept going off.

“Ay! Go! More passion. More passion. More passion. More energy. More energy. More footwork. More footwork,” the 2023 SI Swimsuit model mouthed along to the audio as she pumped her fists in the air and clapped her hands. Her long blonde locks were tied back into a loose ponytail.

“Me hyping my teammates up during media day,” read the on-screen text.

“They’re stars. #foryou #lsu #gymnastics,” the New Jersey native captioned the Sept. 14 clip she shared with her 7.8 million TikTok followers.

“love you don best good woman 🥰🥰,” Tatum said. “didn’t know you was filming this at all😭😭.”

“Shine bright like a diamond!” a fan commented.

“Last years was amazing,” someone wrote, and Dunne responded, “Just wait for this years…👀.”

“Livvy brings the energy,” another added.

“has it been a year already of following you. time flies,” one person noted.

“I LOVE THE TEAM LEOS,” someone else chimed.

“Tori was holding on for dear life holding that pose, great hypeman job girl,” another user pointed out.
