Pandas Race for 3rd Overall at PCL Champs: An O'Dea to Remember

The Pandas of Bonner & Prendie entered Belmont Plateau on Saturday, October 22nd, with a mission - to finish in the top 3 of the Catholic League. They knew this was not going to be an easy task with how well teams like Lansdale Catholic, Archbishop Carroll, Little Flower, and St. Hubert were performing this year. Those teams did not know the fire that was burning in the hearts of the Pandas since last cross country season. 

Those who raced last year knew how it felt to fall to forth based on a technicality a year ago - they made they would never feel that way again. The Pandas proved why cross country is more of a team sport that an individual effort on Saturday. The girls had a spread of 1:48 between runners 1 to 5. This spread ensured a 3rd place finish for the Pandas, as they constantly worked together on the course. Lead by 1st Team All Catholic, Jenna Rastatter finishing fifteenth place, the rest of the pack quickly finished behind her one by one, each place being more important than the other. 

The best surprise of the day for the Pandas was the finish of Bonner & Prendie senior, Bridie O'Dea. Bridie ran a minute faster than she ever did before to be the 2nd finishing member of the team. Her heroic race pushed members of her team to the finish line faster. Her leadership on Saturday went unmatched as she quickly made way past individuals to go Honorable Mention All Catholic. 

Bridie was quickly followed in by freshman, Corrina O'Lock, who also finished Honorable Mention All Catholic. The impressive freshman continued her great rookie season at a very important time.

Then came Sam Gliwa, overcoming a torn meniscus early this season, Sam should up and raced with everything she had on Saturday, There was a constant fight in her because the junior knew this team needed her to run with heart. 

Not to far from Sam was the Pandas number 5 runner, Charlotte McDermott. Charlotte continued to pass people in times of need, picking off one by one all the way to the finish line! 

The number 6 and 7 runners also ran a very important race on Saturday. Freshman, Maggie Salter, and Sophomore, Hannah Bierling, had the important role of misplacing members on other teams to pick up more points for the Pandas. This is a role they took very seriously, as they knew the race could come down to how well they finished. 

The Pandas finished 3rd overall, only beating Lansdale Catholic by 2 points. This is the best finish for the Pandas since the 2007 season, where the team also finished 3rd overall. 

One the JV end, Briella Black finished 22nd overall, finishing the last mile of the race passing 4 people out of the woods to go for a medal! Shyann Bilbrough finished 28th overall, with Jasmin Williams running her personal best time on Saturday.

AA Girls | Bonner & Prendie favored as Wood moves to AAA

AA Girls Returning Teams Rankings

With Archbishop Wood making the transition to AAA in girls XC, the landscape of AA girls will change drastically. Wood won the D12-AA title last year with just 19 points, so that will leave plenty of spots in the top 20 individually up for grabs.

Bonner & Prendie seems to be the logical heir apparent. They are led up front by Samantha Gliwa, who was third in the district last year and 94th in the state. Jenna Rastatter and Hannah Oropollo are crucial pieces for B&P as well.

Pandas XC Ready for Redemption

Updated on 06/10/2022

Flashback to PCL Championships for cross country a year ago. The Pandas of Bonner & Prendie made a remarkable comeback within the last mile of the race to make the team race come down to the finish! The team fell to fourth that day by only one point, which was caused by a mishap out of another team. The girls raced strong enough to finish with seven All Catholics that day, one of two teams to accomplish that feat. 

This year the girls aim for a plaque! Behind returning All Catholic and All Delco athletes Sam Gliwa, Jenna Rastatter, Bridie O'Dea, Cate Lance, Hannah Oropollo, and Hannah Bierling, as well as JV medalist Charlotte McDermott, and a vast number of freshman athletes, the girls focus on their immediate future. 

The year should be a good one as the girls are not only eyeing a strong return at PCL Championships, but also look to surprise people in District 12 AA Championships. You need to keep an eye on these girls!

It's never too late to join the program! If you are interested you can reach out to Coach Kee via e-mail or join us at practice starting August 15th!

Practice will be held at Rose Tree Park at 6:00 PM. The cross country program continues to look towards a strong future.
