Livvy Dunne celebrated winning the SEC gymnastics championships with her LSU teammates despite the social-media sensation not making her anticipated return to action.
Dunne was not able to participate in senior night due to an avulsion fracture in her patella, and was also out for the Tigers’ regular-season finale against Auburn.
Dunne was seen jogging on an anti-gravity treadmill earlier this week without a brace on her right leg when she spots someone recording her. The LSU star smiles and does a finger-gun salute to the camera.
‘We’re so back baby,’ Dunne captioned the Instagram story.
The 22-year-old Dunne then also shared a selfie from a sauna, with her posing for the camera.
Yet, with the Tigers’ stacked lineup and Dunne’s health coming with a question mark, she did not feature in any of the four events in LSU’s most important meet of the year.

Despite not competing, Dunne was in the middle of the championship celebrations as the purple, yellow, and white confetti came down from the rafters in Birmingham, Alabama.
LSU bested Florida, Oklahoma, and Missouri to win its second-straight conference title in what is considered the deepest gymnastics league in the country.
Tiger teammate Aleah Finnegan was seen getting a handful of the confetti and throwing it into the face of Dunne, a shoutout to the social-media star’s boyfriend, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes.
The Tigers now have two possible meets remaining this season – regionals and the national championship.
Based on the Tigers’ scores, it would be a shock to see LSU not advance to nationals, giving Dunne two more opportunities to compete in college gymnastics again.
