Olivia Dunne closed out 2024 with a major accomplishment: her college graduation.
Dunne still has one final season of college gymnastics starting in January. Last year, she was part of the LSU team that captured the first national championship in program history. Going back-to-back would be a heck of an encore and the perfect way to cap off her career.
Before that though, Dunne obtained her graduate degree from LSU, which she celebrated by sharing photos from the ceremony on Instagram, along with pictures of her in her cap and gown and sporting a white dress with Tiger Stadium in the background.
"Forever LSU🐯," Dunne wrote in the caption.
Dunne's comments section is full of well wishers.
"Hell yeah! Welcome to the club. ForeverLSU," one person wrote.
"livy !!!!! congratulations!!!" said Dunne's SI Swimsuit family member Olivia Ponton..
"I'm so proud of you," one of Dunne's teammates wrote.
"Congratulations!!! Best wishes to you on your new journey but you'll always have LSU. Have a wonderful holiday off!!" another person said.
"Putting the student in STUDENT athlete," said Dunne's sister Julz.
Among Dunne's many accomplishments in 2024 was a return to the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. She posed for the magazine during a shoot in Portugal.
"Maybe it's the beautiful Portuguese backdrop with all of its history—I personally absolutely love visiting the country—or maybe it's the gorgeous cottagecore aesthetic the shoot brought, but Dunne looked positively angelic for her second feature where she was recognized as a Rookie," SI Swim's Natalie Zamora wrote Thursday. "Among the many stunning swimsuits she donned, an underrated piece from Angelys Balek is worth looking back at. Showing off her tanned, lean yet muscular body, the gymnast proved her natural modeling abilities with this plum-colored two-piece, seen below."
We're not sure if Livvy will be back in SI next year, but we're excited to see what 2025 has in store for her as she continues her meteoric rise.
