The 2014 Olympic bronze medallist and her brakewoman Cherrell Garrett had a 0.18 seconds lead after the first run after posting a time of 56.74 seconds.

And while dropping a shade in the second with a time of 57 seconds flat, it was still enough for them to edge out Meyers Taylor and Kehri Jones by 0.15 seconds.

The latter had in fact set a new push-start record of 5.43 seconds on their second run but they could not make up enough time on the latter part of the course to overtake the leaders.
