CIS TOP TEN TUESDAY: York leaps to No. 1 in men's track & field

OTTAWA (CIS) – There are no less than four changes at the top in this week’s CIS national rankings, with UBC (men’s swimming), York (men’s track & field), Trinity Western (men’s volleyball) and Brock (men’s wrestling) moving to No. 1 in their respective disciplines.
 
In other CIS sports, Windsor (women’s basketball), Carleton (men’s basketball), McGill (women’s hockey), Calgary (men’s hockey), UBC (women’s swimming & women’s volleyball), Guelph (women’s track & field) and Brock (women’s wrestling) all held on to the pole position.
 
In men’s swimming, UBC moves past reigning CIS champion Toronto following a dominant performance at the Canada West championships. The Thunderbird men claimed the conference banner with a comfortable cushion over meet host Calgary, finishing with 941 points compared to 755 for the Dinos.
 
In men’s track and field, York and Guelph both move ahead of last week’s top-ranked squad, Windsor, after finishing 1-2 at the prestigious McGill Team Challenge, the largest indoor track meet in Canada. The Windsor men settled for sixth place at the competition.
 
In men’s volleyball, Trinity Western is back at No. 1 following McMaster’s first loss of the regular season, a five-set defeat at the hands of No. 7 Waterloo. The top-ranked Spartans, meanwhile, swept a two-game set at No. 5 Thompson Rivers to improve to 17-1 in league play.
 
In men’s wrestling, Brock takes over from defending CIS champ Alberta, which had led the first two national rankings of the campaign.
