Interview with LSU 5th Year Courtney Blackson + U.S. Worlds Team Predictions

This week, we’re thrilled to be joined by fifth-year senior Courtney Blackson! A few weeks ago, Courtney announced that she’ll be using her final year of eligibility at LSU after taking a full year away from the sport. She previously spent four years at Boise State University, where she was a two-time NCAA individual qualifier and the national runner-up on vault in 2023. Now, she brings her talent and competitive experience to one of the top programs in the country – the LSU Tigers. In this episode, Courtney talks about her decision to return to gymnastics, how training has been going, and what led her to choose LSU for her final season. Plus, we share our 2025 U.S. World Team Predictions at the end of the episode!
