The No. 3 LSU gymnastics team extended its winning streak to four on Friday night with a win over the SEC rival Kentucky Wildcats. For the win in Lexington, NIL superstar Livvy Dunne was once again absent from the lineup.

LSU picked up a 197.200-197.075 win over the No. 9 Wildcats and raised their National Qualifying Score (NQS) average from 197.420 to 197.540 on the season, keeping the Tigers on track to win their first regular-season conference championship since 2018.

Livvy last competed on January 24 in a loss to the Arkansas Razorbacks. She has since been sidelined as she deals with a lingering knee injury.

LSU gymnastics coach Jay Clark provided an update on Livvy's injury prior to the Tigers' SEC showdown, saying the only way to fully recover is with rest.

"Liv’s knee is still an issue. It isn’t a stress fracture, but it is a stress reaction on her kneecap," Clark said. "The only answer for that is rest."

Hopefully she is getting the rest she needs while kicking it with her sister in Baton Rouge.

Up next for LSU is is the Podium Challenge against George Washington on Friday, February 28. The meet will take place at the Raising Cane's River Center in Baton Rouge.
