U SPORTS TOP 10 TUESDAY (#16): Guelph, Western open at No.1 in Track & Field

TORONTO (U SPORTS) – The Guelph Gryphons (men) and Western Mustangs (women) open as the top-ranked track and field teams in the first rankings of 2017.

The Gryphons earned 104 points to claim the No.1 position ahead of Western (91.5), defending U SPORTS champion Windsor (84), Waterloo (50) and Manitoba (49.5). On the women’s side, the Mustangs earned 150.5 points, with Guelph (102), Windsor (53), Calgary (46.5) and reigning national champion Toronto (40.5) rounding out the top five.

Last winter, the Gryphons men claimed the team silver medal at the national championship, while Mustangs women finished in third place. Both Western and Guelph will compete at the Can-Am Classic hosted by Windsor this weekend.

In women’s basketball, McMaster reclaims top spot from Laval after back-to-back dominant wins over Nipissing (89-36) and Laurentian (87-58) to begin the second half. The Marauders host Laurier on Wednesday night before paying a visit to the new Guelph Gryphons Athletic Centre on Saturday.

In other U SPORTS rankings, Carleton (men’s basketball), UNB (men’s hockey), UBC (women’s hockey & men’s and women’s swimming), Trinity Western (men’s volleyball), Alberta (women’s volleyball), and Brock (men’s and women’s wrestling), hold on to their pole positions.
