The reigning champion Brock Badgers remain the team to beat in U SPORTS wrestling.
In the first rankings of 2019, the Badgers continued their hold on to the No.1 position following a dominant first-place performance over the weekend at home at the Brock Open.
In other U SPORTS rankings, all national leaders remained intact for another week including UNB (men’s hockey), Montreal (women’s hockey), Carleton (men’s basketball), Laval (women’s basketball), Brandon (men’s volleyball) Trinity Western (women’s volleyball), UBC (men’s and women’s swimming) and Guelph (men’s and women’s track and field).
New this season, U SPORTS is implementing the ELO Rating System for the calculation of its weekly national rankings. Powered by RankR, ELO’s unique algorithm blends a statistical calculation with customized variables that is adaptable across a range of sports. For men’s hockey, it will be combined with the results of the media panel balloting (each weighted 50%) to produce the final top 10. For more information, click here.
