Two-time defending world champions Madison Chock and Evan Bates took a 9.3-point lead over Christina Carreira and Anthony Ponomarenko after Friday’s competition, an impressive feat considering the second and seventh-place finishers were separated by 7.61 points.

They were able to stand atop the leaderboard despite Chock feeling under the weather during the event.

“Experiences like today really help us a lot,” Bates said afterwards, via NBC Sports’ Nick Zaccardi. “I mean, it’s not fun to skate when you’re not feeling your best, but knowing we can still go out and perform well under any circumstances is such a confidence boost.”

Amber Glenn sat at No. 3 on the leaderboard following Thursday’s short program, trailing 2022 Olympian Alysa Liu and 2018 Olympic team bronze medallist 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 second, while Sarah Everhardt sat at No. 3. Tennell just missed the podium, finishing fourth.

The U.S. Championships will continue on Saturday, starting with the men’s short program.
