LSU gymnastics commit Hezly Rivera wins all-around national title ahead of LSU arrival

LSU gymnastics commit Hezly Rivera won the U.S. Gymnastics all-around title during Sunday's competition in New Orleans, LA. The 17-year-old took home the national championship with 112.000 total points between both days of the meet and became the title's youngest winner since 2017. She won gold outright in beam and floor and then tied for the top spot on bars. Rivera earned a selection on the 2024 Olympics team alongside the sport's biggest names, such as Simone Biles and Suni Lee. She was the youngest Olympian from the United States during the games in Paris. After returning from Paris, 16-year-old Rivera committed to LSU in a post on her social media account in September. She chose the then-reigning national champions as her collegiate team. Her first competitive season for the Tigers is slated for 2027. 'I am so blessed and excited to announce that I have verbally committed to Louisiana State University on a full athletic scholarship. Thank you to my family, coaches, and teammates for helping me throughout this process. I also want to thank all the girls, coaches, and staff at LSU for everything," Rivera said.
