    5 Angelle Sampey                          7 Eddie Krawiec

Both are great on the tree, Sampey was able to get out on Krawiec, but Eddie is able to use his power to catch her right at the finish line. Sampey was ahead all the way down the track but doesn't have the power to hold off Krawiec. Krawiec will have lane choice over Johnson in the final.
