Olivia Dunne makes her feelings known after winning 2024 NCAA Gymnastics Championship

Olivia Dunne shared her reaction after winning the 2024 NCAA Gymnastics Championship with the LSU Tigers in an earlier interview. Dunne, who represented the LSU Tigers from the 2021 season, was part of the squad that won the program's first ever national team title.
In an interview with People Magazine, Dunne shared her feelings on grabbing the national team title as she said:
"The first thing I did was start crying right after we won. I just felt like my team's hard work had finally paid off, just four years of working so hard towards a common goal. I think it's so special to have a group of young women all have a common goal in mind and then work to reach that goal and then win. That is so rewarding."
