14 Year Old Musher Holds His Own
After day number four of the International Pedigree Stage Stop Sled Dog Race, there is no change in order of the teams that moved into the top three positions yesterday. Blayne Streeper still leads the field of 22 mushers, followed by Aaron Peck and John Stewart. Further down in the field tied for 16th place is the IPSSSDR’s youngest musher, 14-year-old Bailey Cross of Brookfield Massachusetts who admits that while he has raced numerous events before, this is the largest race he has ever attempted. Later this year, Cross says he plans to race in the Junior Iditarod. The IPSSSDR today moves on to Alpine, Wyoming where the teams will travel 54 miles along the Grey’s River Road in the Bridger Teton National Forest.
