IRT Rankings - Crowther up to #4

There's been a bit of movement in the latest International Racquetball Tour (IRT) rankings, but the top three remain the same: Kane Waselenchuk at #1, Rocky Carson #2, and Alvaro Beltran #3.

Moving up is Chris Crowther, who jumped ahead of Jose Rojas into the 4th spot with Rojas in 5th. Ben Croft's finals appearance in Florida helped him move up two spots to 6th, going ahead of Tony Carson and Shane Vanderson, who are now 7th and 8th, respectively.

Holding steady in 9 and 10 are Javier Morneo and Andy Hawthorne, but Jose Diaz and Alex Ackermann have jumped up five spots each to sit at 11 and 12, respectively. Only one point separate Diaz and Ackermann, and Anthony Herrera is only a point back of Ackermann.

The next Tier 1 IRT event is next week in Denver, where the Denver Athletic Club will host the Mile High Pro/Am March 21-24.
