Olivia Dunne and the LSU Tigers hit the south coast over the weekend before they knuckle down for the upcoming NCAA season.
Social media sensation Dunne returned to LSU last month to begin her fifth and final season with the Tigers after announcing earlier in the summer that she wasn’t quite ready to quit the mat.
And upon her return, the 21-year-old has thrown herself back into the team’s traditions.
The entire team – Dunne included – took a field trip down to Gulf Shores, Alabama where they enjoyed a weekend on the coast for ‘Games Weekend.’
The gymnasts appeared to stay at a beautiful cabin on the shore with direct access on to the beach.

Dunne and her teammates shared several snaps to their Instagram stories as they soaked up the sun and the scenery.
The influencer wowed in a yellow gingham-patterned bikini as she posed alongside two of her teammates, Alexis Jeffrey and Haleigh Bryant.
She later gave fans a glimpse of the villa’s incredible amenities as she lounged poolside with an iced coffee in her hand.
The team even took a trip to regional convenience store Buc-ee’s before rustling up a team meal in the kitchen.
They also used the weekend to bond ahead of the NCAA gymnastic season, which begins for the Tigers in January.
The gymnasts made bracelets with Dunne spotted sporting two that read ‘Geaux’ and ‘Love’.
The LSU Tigers won the 2024 national championship back in April, though Dunne didn’t participate in the final meet.

Three months later, she told fans she wanted to pull on the purple and gold leotard for one final season.
It wasn’t a shocking decision, considering the successful, whirlwind college career the New jersey native has enjoyed.
Since making her debut as a college athlete in 2020, Dunne has seen her fame skyrocket, as she now has 5.3million followers on Instagram and 8.1million on TikTok.
She’s also become a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model and scored deals with the likes of American Eagle and Motorola, with her NIL valuation estimated at a whopping $3.9million by On3.
