CARLSBAD, Calif.—Officially an American citizen for just a few days, Carlsbad resident Kaillie Humphries teamed with Kaysha Love and won the two-woman bobsled World Cup race on Dec. 5 in Altenberg, Germany, her second victory in two days.
Humphries piloted her sled to the second-fastest time on the first run, 56.99 seconds, 0.02 seconds behind the German duo of Laura Nolte and Deborah Levi. On the second run, the Americans had a slower start time and slower times than the Germans at each of the four intervals, but completed the distance between the fourth interval and finish line 0.08 seconds faster than the Germans to win the race by 0.04 seconds.
