I'm not necessarily a YEC since I believe we don't know how old the earth is, but I do believe the Genesis flood story. I don't have time to get into another debate, but I just wanted to present this possibility. If there were a big rush bringing down a huge quantity of soft sediment, the meandering possibly could occur subsequently as a fairly strong but not rushing amount of water continued down the now relatively, I say relatively, level sediment which would be deep but still quite soft. We see this sometimes on a small scale where erosion occurs in soft sediment of fairly gradual slopes. After the meandering is shaped, though yet fairly shallow, surging water from a succession of other small outbreaks or pockets of water upstream could cut the now shaped meandering much deeper rather quickly.
