Captured in a selfie shared on Dunne’s Instagram Story on Tuesday, the pair’s bond of affection was evident as they posed together.
Notably, Dunne marked Skenes’s hold on the post, signaling the enduring strength of their relationship.
Celebrate Big Wins
Dunne, wearing beige sandals paired with jeans and a black lace top while carrying a stylish Gucci bag, pulled off a remarkable feat to become the conference champion at the weekend. LSU, which is ranked No. 3 nationally, achieved a historic feat by scoring 198.075 points, the highest in program history, at the SEC championship meet in New Orleans on Saturday night.
Following this important win, Dunne, 21, joined her teammates in a rousing celebration as they secured the Lady Tigers’ fifth crown. Captured in photos and footage shared by influencers, who are also top NIL traders on TikTok and Instagram, the team’s lively camaraderie is there for all to see.
Powerful Presentation
Dunne, along with her fellow LSU gymnasts, showcased their talents in multiple disciplines during the championships, starting with the vault and moving seamlessly to bars and beam before ending with a floor routine. Notably, LSU had held the top spot in its conference prior to the event.
On the other hand, Skenes, also 21, despite being called up to the Pirates’ spring training and participating in preseason games, is still waiting for his big break in the MLB. Despite this opportunity, he realizes the need to patiently wait for his chance to shine in the big leagues.
He is expected to begin the season playing for one of Pittsburgh’s minor league affiliates, with possibilities including Triple-A Indianapolis or Double-A Altoona.
Paul Skenes Talks About His Future With Pirates
As the No. 1 overall pick. 1 in last year’s MLB Draft, Skenes was involved in discussions about his immediate future with Pirates GM Ben Cherington.
Looking back on his professional journey so far, Skenes acknowledged, “I’ve thrown 6 2/3 innings in pro ball. It’s just kind of how it happens.”
He went on to elaborate on his conversation with Cherington, stating, “(Cherington said it’s never happened before if I start the year in the big leagues). It’s not that I don’t think I can do it, but I understand.”
Why Paul Skenes Is the No. 1 Overall Pick 1
After last summer’s draft, Skenes totaled 6 2/3 innings in five starts, spanning the rookie, Single-A and Double-A levels. During this span, he gave up four earned runs on five hits and two walks, while recording 10 strikeouts. Notably, Skenes registered no hits and maintained a 5.40 ERA.
In the current spring, he has pitched three innings, allowing just one run and striking out three batters. Known for his towering 6-foot-6 stature and impressive pitching prowess, Skenes consistently showed his potential, with pitches reaching speeds as high as 102 mph.
