Prior to the Finals, Dunne took to TikTok to demonstrate her impressive moves on the floor at LSU’s gymnasium.

“These are hard,” she captioned the post shared with her 8 million followers.

In the clip, wearing tight shorts and a sports bra, Dunne was all smiles as she attempted wolf turns before falling onto the mat.

“Girl you’re so perfect,” commented one fan.

“Nice wolf turns Livvy!” said a second.

“That’s a great looking spin though, the harder ones are the coolest ones!” added a third.

While another called her an “Absolute Goddess.”

After making it through the Semifinals, Dunne and Co. went on to win the Finals on Saturday.

It marked the program’s first win and ended Oklahoma‘s streak of back-to-back wins.

Senior Haleigh Bryant was the star of the show, finishing with an All-Around score of 39.7125 – joint highest of the Final – as well as second in both the vault and balance beam.

LSU finished with a total score of 198.2250, ahead of California who placed second with 197.8500, Utah in third with 197.8000, and Florida in fourth with 197.4375.

Following the win, Dunne and her teammates were in floods of tears as they celebrated together in front of the 7,684 fans in attendance.

She swiftly took to her Instagram Stories to share in her joy, captioning one clip, “Best day ever.”

Before later adding, “Natty champs baby!”

Exactly what lies ahead for Dunne remains unclear, with her collegiate career now having come to an idyllic end.

“I know it’s coming to an end, so I’m trying to take in every single last memory I can, but I’m also excited to see what the future holds,” she told Elle in July 2023.

At the time, Dunne said she may end up moving to Malibu, New York, or perhaps Florida.

“Probably I’ll end up near a beach, I’m guessing,” she said.

“Then I can just honestly go back to what I started doing. I could flip around on the beach. I could. That’s how it all happened.”

Whether or not this is still the plan is unknown.

She may consider moving to Pittsburgh, with her boyfriend and MLB prodigy Paul Skenes currently awaiting his chance with the Pirates.

Selected first overall in the 2023 MLB Draft, Skenes is currently plying his trade with their Triple-A affiliate in Indiana.
