IRT Rankings - January 8, 2014

Only one change in the top 10 of the latest International Racquetball Tour (IRT) rankings, and it's a small change as Marco Rojas edges ahead of Jansen Allen into 9th spot 5 ranking points up on Allen in 10th.

Kane Waselenchuk remains #1 with Rocky Carson #2 and Alvaro Beltran #3. Jose Rojas is 4th, and he's only 76 points behind Beltran, so some good results for him this weekend at the New York City Pro-Am combined with poor results for Beltran could push him ahead of the Mexican and into the #3 spot for the first time in his career.

Daniel De La Rosa has had good results this season, and sits in 6th spot. But he's still well behind #5 Ben Croft.

There are few changes in the 11-20 places including David Horn getting back in the top 20 and Anthony Herrera dropping out of the top 20. He's now 21st.

The IRT is in action this weekend on Long Island, New York with the New York City Pro-Am, which begins January 9th and runs to January 12th.
