Meyers, who won her first in 2015, and brakewoman Kehri Jones edged Humphries and Melissa Lotholz by 0.03 seconds after four runs.
“Kaillie gave me a run for the money from top to the finish. So I knew I had to put it together. And today we did,” said Meyers, who held a 0.02-second lead after Friday’s first two runs.
Jamie Greubel Poser of the U.S. was third, 0.23 seconds back with brakewoman Aja Evans, for her first world championship medal.
