Hi Boys and Girls,

Good Morning. What a night it’s been in Nome. 19 teams have arrived. At 17:50 AST, the teams of John Baker and Katherine Keith arrived at the same time. John’s team came in 1 second before Katherines. I bet that was something to watch. There are 6 teams that have left White Mountain and should be into Nome this morning.

Two Rookies have arrived into Nome. Robert Redington who will be awarded the Rookie of the Year. Right behind him was Sebastian Vergnaud. Rookie Nicolas Vanier has left White Mountain.

Congratulations to all the finishers.
