Latest National Rankings Update for March 2021 released
A change at the helm of the men’s national rankings has occurred and the race for the women’s number one spot has heated up, in the latest update from March.
Corey Wedlock’s stellar month has propelled him to the top of the men’s ladder, with a runner-up showing at the Australian Champion of Champions the highlight of a prosperous March.
The NSW-based Australian Jackaroo boasts an impressive 36 point buffer on second ranked Thor Shannon from Victoria.
In the women’s update, Carla Krizanic has maintained her stranglehold on the top spot, equalling Wedlock’s result at the Champion of Champions as runner-up.
However, the winner of that event, Dawn Hayman, now looms ominously in second place, just 21 points behind.
