Two-time defending world champions Madison Chock and Evan Bates held a 9.3-point lead over Christina Carreira and Anthony Ponomarenko after Friday's competition, an impressive feat considering the runners-up and seventh-place finishers were separated by 7.61 points.
They were able to top the leaderboard despite Chock feeling under the weather during the event.
“Experiences like today really help us a lot,” Bates said afterward, via NBC Sports . Nick Zaccardi. “I mean, it's not fun to skate when you're not feeling your best, but knowing that we can still go out and play well under any circumstances is that confidence boost.”
Amber Glenn was ranked No. 3 after Thursday's short program, behind 2022 Olympian Alyssa Liu and 2018 Olympic team bronze medalist Bradie Tennell.
Glenn made up ground in Friday's free skate performance that was highlighted by a triple axel, ultimately defending her U.S. crown.
Liu finished in second place, while Sarah Everhardt was in 3rd place. Tennell just missed the podium and finished fourth.
The US Championships continue on Saturday, starting with the men's short program.
