Latest National Rankings for August released
New South Wales’ reign at the top of both the male and female rankings has come to an end for the first time since the end of October last year.
In the male standings, Queensland’s Nelson brothers, Kane (1) and Jacob (2), have risen sharply to command the pointy-end of the leaderboard, bringing an end to Peter Taylor’s dominance, with the New South Welshman having occupied the top spot since June.
However, the news isn’t all so bad for New South Wales, with Genevieve Delves retaining the number one women’s ranking and in doing so, has completed a full calendar year in the position.
Among the other notables, West Australian husband and wife team, Hailey (3) and Cody Packer (4), are among the top-five in their respective standings, while rising star Erin Swatridge (5) has found herself in a career-high position.
