Morgan Tracey finished tenth for the United States after a mid-event sock change, using Charney’s backup socks in the second run. Leslie Stratton finished 11th to round out the American effort.
Jaclyn LaBerge finished 13th after a tough second run, while Canadian teammate Melissa-Kate Gagnon finished 24th. Erika Riedl finished 23rd as the only Italian sled.
