Between gallivanting in Italy, the Jersey Shore and New York City, Dunne posted an emotional clip on her TikTok account last week showing her journey as a young gymnast to one of the leaders on the LSU squad.

“I can’t believe this is my last year ever,” she captioned the clip.

One fan asked Dunne if she was going to go out for the Olympics, and she said no.

“My body hurts,” she wrote.

Dunne’s LSU team finished in fourth place in the NCAA Championships earlier this year. As Dunne’s popularity soared, she picked up a few more name, image and likeness endorsements. She became a model for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit and established Livvy Fund to help female student-athletes at LSU.
