Haleigh Bryant announced that she will return to LSU gymnastics to complete her fifth year of eligibility via an Instagram post.

“After talking with my family, my coaches and my teammates, it was just a really good opportunity,” Bryant said in a press release. “I don’t think I was really ready for it to end.”

Bryant capped her 2024 season off with a national championship and an AAI Award, which is compared to the Heisman Trophy of gymnastics. 

She is the all-time perfect 10 leader in LSU history with 18 and owns the highest all-around score in school history with 39.925. Bryant is also the only LSU gymnast to record a gym slam, which is a perfect score on every event.

Many other seniors including Olivia Dunne and Kiya Johnson have the opportunity to return for a fifth year, but have yet to announce their decision.
