Meyers Taylor Wins NAC Gold

From Whistler, CAN

(Nov. 8, 2018) – Elana Meyers Taylor took her first gold medal of the 2018/2019 season.

The most recent IBSF world champion was the second-quickest in both heats, and that was enough to win gold ahead of Race 1 winner Julie Johnson of Canada.

Nicole Vogt finished third for her first medal of the new season, while Canadians Christine de Bruin, Alysia Rissling and Kori Hol finished fourth through sixth to round out the Canadian effort.

Brittany Reinbolt had trouble in her second run and was credited with a DNF, while Mica McNeill of Great Britain and An Vannieuwenhuyse only took the first run down.
