Top 8 Academic All-Canadian recipients honoured at Rideau Hall today
The reigning U Sports champion Brock Badgers open the season as the top-ranked men’s and women’s wrestling programs in the country.
Last February, the Badgers swept both team titles for the third straight year in front of their home fans, with the women’s squad extending their domination of U Sports wrestling to a fifth consecutive championship. McMaster, Concordia, Guelph and Alberta make up the top five programs in the men’s rankings, while Calgary, Guelph, Saskatchewan and Regina round out the top five on the women’s side.
In men’s and women’s swimming, UBC leapfrogs Toronto for top spot, after winning the Odlam Brown Ltd. Colleges Cup meet with record-breaking performances in its home pool. In women’s volleyball, Alberta takes over the No. 1 ranking from Trinity Western – who now sit atop both volleyball polls – following the Spartans’ split of a weekend set at Calgary. The Pandas, who were idle this week, play a home-and-home series with MacEwan starting Thursday.
In other U Sports rankings, Carleton (men’s basketball), Regina (women’s basketball), Alberta (men’s volleyball), UNB (men’s hockey), and UBC (women’s hockey), all maintain their pole positions for another week.
Note: There are no points awarded or additional teams receiving votes for the first week of wrestling rankings.
