News
Some of the biggest recent news was the confirmation from Hezly Rivera (LSU, ‘26) that she will defer her place with the Tigers for two years to make another Olympic run. She will join the team in Baton Rouge in the class of ‘28. Rivera competed at the Pan American Championships on June 17 and withdrew following her vault in the first rotation, with USA Gymnastics citing aggravation of an existing hamstring issue.
