Panther Cheer hosts Mardi Parti Pac-West nationals in Portland next challenge for Richmond cheer teams by Don Fennell Sports Editor For the last three years, Richmond’s Panther Cheer has provided a venue for the province’s top cheerleading teams to test their mettle and programs in elite company. And to have fun. Last Saturday, at the Richmond Olympic Oval, was no exception. Featuring cheer teams from both University of B.C. and Simon Fraser University, the Mardi Parti was a show of skill beyond compare. “This year’s event showed tremendous growth with representation from every cheer program in B.C. in attendance,” said organizer Stephanie Kennedy. “As well, it has the most number of prep teams in attendance at any event this season. This is a new category and there were 14 teams with athletes ranging from three to 17 years old. The future is
bright.” For Panthers, Mardi Parti—attended by some 3,000 athletes in all— was a key event in their competitive season. “We are taking our two elite Level two teams and our Level 4 teams to Portland on Thursday to attend the Pac-West National Championships and this was our last chance to get feedback from judges,” said Kennedy. “We had a great showingall of our teams placed in the top two in very deep divisions.” Other highlights included the Panther youth team winning the Level 1 Grand Championship (highest scoring team out of all age divisions, a total of 45 teams!) and our Open team winning grand champions of Level 6 (a total of four teams including UBC and SFU). In addition, Panther Kaitlyn Buhler was awarded a $1,000 scholarship for her outstanding academic achievement and community service involvement.
