Alix Crittenden wins Stage 4 of Pedigree Stage Stop Race

KEMMERER, Wyo. (KIFI) - By noon Wednesday, the weather had heated up, and so did the race — a 35-mile out-and-back trail saw an average speed just shy of 14 mph with a 13.6 mph average for Alix Crittenden of Bondurant, Wyo.

The Yellow Bib which has rested on Anny Malo’s shoulders every stage except one since last year, dramatically moved to Alix Wednesday.

It’s going to be a battle to see who wears it after Thursday's race.

“I’m super SUPER excited,” Alix said. “I’m so proud of my dogs. It wasn’t easy but they just powered right through it. They did everything I asked them to do and a little more.”

Anny remains in first place overall, and Alix is in second place followed by Cathy Rivest in third place. For complete times click HERE.
