It was quite the night of celebrations for Dunne and her Lady Tigers teammates after they defended their SEC crown.

“SEC CHAMPS BABY!” Dunne exclaimed. LSU posted a program-best score at the SEC Championship, 198.200, defeating Oklahoma (197.925) and Florida (197.825). Dunne, who was part of LSU’s national title-winning roster last year, was not on the lineup card ahead of Saturday’s event.

Whether Livvy is able to compete in the Regionals or the NCAA Championships is still to be determined. But as Coach Jay Clark has alluded to many times, Livvy and all of her teammates are hugely critical to their success. The actual results at the meet are only one part of a much bigger process in preparing for excellence.
