Las Vegan Evan Weinstock and his teammates in the four-man bobsled are ninth after two runs Friday night in the Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea.

“We’re happy with that. We’re in a good place to move up tomorrow,” pilot Codie Bascue told teamusa.org. “We’re happy with how we pushed, confident with how the runs went, but there’s room to improve, so that’s a good sign for tomorrow.”

They are the top American sled team with a time of 1:38.43. Germany’s sled, piloted by Francesco Friedrich, is first at 1:37.55. South Korea and another German sled round out the top three. The other two U.S. sleds are 20th and 21st.

The final two runs will take place Saturday night.

Weinstock and Justin Olsen finished 14th earlier in the Olympics in the two-man bobsled.
