National Rankings – April 2024
With just two months remaining in the 2023/24 National Rankings period, the top end of the rankings standings has remain relatively unchanged after the April update.
Tasmania’s Josh Walker-Davis has extended his buffer at the top of the tree by a solitary point over Queensland’s Jacob Nelson despite his tally dropping by 30 across the month.
Corey Wedlock remains in third position as he plots his rise back to the summit, while Lee Schraner has leapfrogged Aron Sherriff into fourth position with the latter down just the one place to fifth.
The women’s standings saw just one change to the elite quintet as Cassandra Millerick maintains her place at the top of the pile.
However, the Victorian’s buffer to her state compatriot Samantha Atkinson has been cut from 40 points to just 12 after both suffered a reduction in their tally throughout the period.
That drop in points sees the in-form Dawn Hayman progress to within touching distance of the pair with her total of 254 untroubled in April.
Right at Home Jackaroo and 2022 Commonwealth Games gold medallist Kristina Krstic enjoyed an astronomical jump from 13th to fourth after collecting 69 points, while Chloe Stewart rounds out the top five once again.
