Iditarod Update #19 - Thursday Afternoon Standings

It's nearly 2 days after Iditarod Champion Dallas Seavey arrived in Nome, and just over half the field is in.

This morning, father and son team of Martin and Rohn Buser finished, coming in side-by-side. A little later, Gerald Sousa finished the Top 20.

Lance Mackey and Jodi Bailey sprinted from Safety to the finish line, with Mackey crossing just 2 minutes and 26 seconds ahead of Bailey to place 22nd. Bailey made the 22 mile run 21 minutes faster than Mackey, leading to the close finish.

Cim Smyth, with another fast run, finished 24th, with Ed Stielstra rounding out the Top 25.

Rookie of the Year Brent Sass finished earlier, in 13th, and the next rookies of Anjanette Steer and Braxton Peterson have also made it to Nome.

Kelley Griffin and Nicolas Petit are in, with 5-time champion Rick Swenson just outside, in 30th, the final “money” position, with the rest of the finishers to get a symbolic $1,049.

Dan Seavey is out of Shaktoolik and approaching the frozen Norton Bay.

The back of the pack of Bob Chlupach and Jan Steves are still moving toward Unalakleet.
