Way back in October, LSU’s Sierra Ballard came to the realization that she did not want the 2024 gymnastics season to be her last.

Turns out, she will not. The Tigers senior announced Monday that she will exercise her option for a fifth year in 2025.

“It was a pretty easy decision for me,” Ballard said. “I ended up recruiting myself actually. I decided that whatever we did at the end (of the 2024 season) I was committed to coming back.”

Ballard was an integral part of LSU breaking through to win its first NCAA gymnastics title.

With LSU trailing Utah by 0.0375 points going into the last rotation of the NCAA final on April 20, Ballard led off the Tigers on balance beam with a career high 9.95 score. Her performance set the tone for an NCAA finals record 49.7625 by LSU in the event, carrying the team to a 198.225-197.850 win over runner-up California.

Still to make their decisions public are several LSU gymnasts, including Kiya Johnson, Olivia Dunne, Chase Brock and Alyona Shchennikova.

This team next year is going to be sick. They will be better than this year if they can stay healthy.
