The Boise State Mane Line Dancers just brought home two national championships from the 2025 National Dance Alliance competition in Daytona Beach, Florida. The team won first place in both jazz and hip hop in the top division, D1A.
Head coach Kelsey Messer (BBA, general business and human resource management, 2015) has led the university's Spirit Squad since 2019, overseeing the dance, cheer and mascot programs.

When she isn't coaching, she is director of human resources for Albertsons Companies.
