This week we’re excited to be joined by Missouri freshman Olivia Kelly. Kelly helped the Tigers advance to the NCAA Final Four for the first time in program history and finish the season in third place — the highest finish ever for Missouri.

Kelly was a mainstay in both the bars lineup, where she averaged a 9.846, and the beam lineup, where she averaged a 9.853. She is one of the team’s most valuable athletes in terms of scores. Among all returning gymnasts for next season, Kelly is the second-highest contributor, an impressive feat for a freshman!

Kelly joins us to recap the Tigers’ historic NCAA Championship run. We also discuss her elite gymnastics background representing Barbados and whether the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles could be in her future.
