It is worth noting that the best two teams from each semis will qualify for the NCAA Championships 2024 final, scheduled on April 20, 2024, Saturday.
Before the semifinals on Thursday, senior gymnast Dunne met Raisman, who is regarded as one of the greatest American gymnasts. Dunne immediately recreated the special moment that she had with Raisman back in 2012.
Dunne shared two images, the first one being a picture from her childhood with Raisman where she can be seen holding a signed photograph of Raisman. In the latest picture, she was seen taking a selfie where she can be seen touching Aly Raisman again, thus successfully recreating the memory.
Take a look at the pictures from her social media handle.
