Just like the leaders, the back of pack change position numerous times. When we posted yesterday, we assumed Elliot Anderson would be the last musher to finish Iditarod 42. Elliot scratched in Elim. ADN.com reports "Anderson's race ended early Saturday. He made it past Golovin but eventually turned around and scratched at that checkpoint, race officials said."
So that left 3 rookie women at the back of pack.

and
Marcelle Fressineau.
Norris edged out Fressineau by 35 seconds.
All three completed the race significantly faster than the 18 days, 17 minutes, and 20 seconds that it took Libby Riddles to become the 1st woman to win in 1985. Fressineau also now holds the fastest Red Lantern, 13 days, 4 hours, 42 minutes, by 24 minutes over Celeste Davis from 2010.
