LSU plans to increase security at its gymnastics meets following incidents involving unruly fans of Tigers junior Olivia Dunne at the team’s season opener at Utah last Friday.
“We will have security detail with us now when we go on the road and we will be working to create a perimeter around where we get on the bus, where we load,” LSU coach Jay Clark told ESPN ahead of Friday’s meet at Kentucky.
“I take our team’s safety and security very seriously,” Clark added.
The changes to LSU’s security protocols come after a group of young men holding posters and a full-size cutout of Dunne disrupted routines of the other athletes during last Friday’s meet in Salt Lake City.
