Top 10 Tuesday: Calgary men, defending champion UBC women open at No. 1 in swimming

U SPORTS Staff

The Calgary Dinos (men) and reigning champion UBC Thunderbirds (women) begin the season as the top-ranked swimming programs in the nation.

For the Dinos – who claimed the team silver medal at last year’s national championship – it is the first No.1 ranking since March 1, 2011. On the women’s side, the Thunderbirds continue their dominant reign at the top, after claiming their seventh title in eight years last February in their home pool.

In other U SPORTS rankings, Western (football), UNB (men’s hockey), Concordia (women’s hockey), Carleton (men’s basketball), Saskatchewan (women’s basketball) and Trinity Western (men’s and women’s volleyball) remain at No.1 for another week.

Top 10 rankings will begin next week in wrestling.
