Anny Malo looks unstoppable after Stage 4 today. She’s 4 for 4. But this is a sled dog race where anything can happen, and usually does.

Mother Nature shined her light on the field of mushers today in more ways than one. They had a hard, fast trail until about Mile 13 when the skies clouded over, light flurries began to fall, and the back valley became a bit more snow covered than the rest of the course. The 34 miles out-and-back were fast, coated with a thin, hard snowpack maintained by Wyoming State Trails.

Anny Malo, returning three-time champion, broadened her lead by 18 minutes over two-time winner Lina Streeper. Cathy Rivest had a clean run with the Rivest-Malo B team and finished a strong second place. The mid-pack race is really where things are heating up. Seventeen-year veteran JR Anderson took back fourth place, as Dave Torgerson driving the Streeper B team dropped to fifth. Alix Crittenden advanced one place to sixth as four-time champ Hans Gatt dropped a spot to seventh. Jake Robinson had a great run which jumped him from eleventh place to eighth. Race fan favorite Austin Forney climbed one rung to ninth, and Rachel Courtney dropped to tenth.
