The star couple is back Baton Rouge Friday night, and one half of that pair began their quest to become back-to-back national champions.
Livvy Dunne and defending national champion LSU’s gymnastics team opened its season Friday against Iowa State.
Dunne, returning for her fifth year of eligibility, helped lead the nation’s second-ranked team to a 197.300-194.100 victory over Iowa State.

Dunne placed third on floor and fourth on beam with scores of 9.875 and 9.825, respectively.
Dunne’s boyfriend, an LSU student and National League Rookie of the Year Paul Skeneswas also present.
Before becoming the first pick in the 2023 MLB draft, Skenes was the ace of LSU’s College World Series winning team. Skenes was called up to the big leagues early in the season, started the All-Star Game and finished third in NL Cy Young Award voting with his 1.96 ERA and 11.5 K/9.

LSU’s Aleah Finnegan, an Olympic gymnast from the Philippines, led the all-around with a score of 39.725.
The meeting came just days after Dunne and Skenes were out on Bourbon Street, hours before the terrorist attack that killed 14 people in the French Quarter.
