2016-17 Boise State Spirit Squad Roster
The 2016-17 Boise State spirit squad will consist of 45 members - 17 dancers and 28 cheerleaders - head coach Tobruk Blaine announced following the team's auditions. The team includes students from Idaho, Arizona, California, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Nevada, Utah, Texas and Connecticut.
Tryouts ran for three days from April 29 to May 1, with a round of cuts each evening. The Mane Line Dance Team was trimmed from 42 registered auditions to a 17-woman team. The 28 selected cheerleaders came from a pool of 62 tryouts. The cheer team features 22 women and six men.
There will be 26 returners and 19 newcomers on the squad.
The team will assemble in June for a week-long mini-camp to work out and get to know one another. They will also host a Youth Cheer & Dance Spirit Camp for local kids age 4 to 14.
The rest of the summer will be filled with workouts and numerous campus and community appearances. In mid-August the entire team will be back together for Fall Camp Double Days. This camp will prepare them for their duties beginning right as the school year starts with volleyball and football commitments, along with many appearances.
