Sydnee Vial was named the second LC State Dance coach in program history in 2024 and enters her second season in 2025-26. She is the first cheer coach in the history of Warrior Athletics and will lead LC State's 14th sport into its inaugural competitive season in 2026-27.Â
In her first season at the helm of Warrior Dance in 2024-25, Soderberg led LC State to its highest competition score in program history at 76.1 when the team finished seventh at the York University Crown Classic. The history-making did not stop there. On Mar. 8, LC State hosted its first home dance competition that resulted in the program's first win with a victory over Carroll College (Mont.).Â
The graduate of Lewiston High School competed collegiately at Boise State and won a national title in 2018 before earning her degree from Lewis-Clark State. Vial helped build one of the top middle school and high school cheer programs in the state of Idaho as a coach at both Sacajawea Middle School and Lewiston High School. She helped lead SMS to wins at every competition it competed in during the last six years and did not lose a single grand championship, and helped LHS to four straight district titles and two third-place overall finishes at State over the last two years including first place in COED show routine.
Sydnee is married to Brandon Vial.
