The March 2003 TheMat.com North American Women's College Wrestling Rankings for teams and individuals has been released.     Simon Fraser Univ. of British Columbia, Canada remained the top North American college team in the poll, receiving all five of the first place votes from the coaches panel for 100 points. Simon Fraser traditionally competes in the NAIA as this year joined the CIS (the Canadian university college association). Simon Fraser won the team title for women at the CIS National Championships in March, and also had a number of athletes compete well at the Canadian FILA Junior Nationals.    Retaining the No. 2 position was the Univ. of Calgary, a Canadian CIS school, which placed second behind Simon Fraser in the CIS Championships.    Only two points separated the No. 3 and No. 4 teams, both NAIA schools from the United States. Cumberland College retained its third position, with 88 points, followed closely by Missouri Valley College in fourth with 86 points. Cumberland and Missouri Valley were tied for first in this month's U.S. team rankings.    Last month, there was a fifth place tie in the poll, which was broken in this month's poll. Brock Univ., which placed third as a team at the CIS Championships, retains the No. 5 ranking by itself. Slipping from fifth to sixth this month is Neosho County CC, a junior college in the United States.    Rounding out the Top 10 were No. 7 Univ. of Minnesota-Morris; No. 8 Univ. of Guelph; No. 9 Pacific Univ. and No. 10 McMaster Univ.    The team ranking poll is elected by a panel of women's college coaches, three from Canada and two from the United States. Eligible for ranking are college varsity and club women's wrestling programs.    All eight of the No. 1 athletes from last month retained their top ranking in this month's individual rankings.    The Canadian athletes with No. 1 spots this month were  Carol Huyhn of Simon Fraser at 48 kg (105.5 lbs.), Belinda Chow of the Univ. of Regina at 51 kg (112.25 lbs.), Heather Sweezey of Brock at 55 kg (121 lbs.), Emily Richardson of Simon Fraser at 59 kg (130 lbs.), Tara Hedican of Guelph at 63 kg (138.5 lbs.), Shannon Samler of the Univ. of BC at 67 kg (147.5 lbs.) and Pamela Wilson of McMaster at 77 kg/169.5 lbs. All of these Canadian wrestlers were CIS champions, except for Samler who was not entered in the tournament. Hedican also won a gold medal at the Pan American Championships last weekend.    The U.S. wrestler with a No. 1 ranking was Toccara Montgomery of Cumberland College at 72 kg (158.5 lbs.)
