Last Seavey in Nome




The last of the Seavey's, Jen, arrived in Nome at 7:47:50 PM, EDT, Sunday night, just in time to make it to the Finishers' Banquet to see her husband Dallas receive the Most Improved Musher award for moving up from his #41 finish in 2007 to #6 this year. Dad MItch Seavey finished #4 this year.

The top photo is Dad Mitch Seavey, the 2004 Iditarod champion. The middle photo is Son Dallas Seavey, this year's Most Improved Musher, and the bottom photo is Rookie Musher Jen Seavey, wife of Dallas, who finished #43 (out of 67 starters) in her first Iditarod. Good year for the Seavey family.
