In the this week's track and field rankings, the Gryphons men's team holds down the top spot in the country at No. 1 while the women's team climbs two spots to No. 2.

The new record also booked Proctor's spot in the 2026 U SPORTS Track and Field Championships in the discipline. Joining Proctor at nationals in the women's 300m is Gabby Cole and
Nicole McKenzie who also reached the U SPORTS auto standard mark over the weekend. Cole raced to a personal best time of 37.84 to earn her spot in Winnipeg while McKenzie booked her second ticket to nationals in the women's 300m after setting a new school record in the women's 600m earlier in the season.
