The driver Humphries and push athlete Jones lead by a significant .34 of a second over Germans Kim Kalicki and Ann-Christin Strack after the first two of four runs at worlds in Altenberg, Germany, on Friday.
Fellow Americans Elana Meyers Taylor, who had son Nico during last year’s worlds, and Sylvia Hoffman are in fourth, four tenths out of bronze position.
