Michelle Phillips and team kicked it into high gear Saturday afternoon to take a commanding lead that only grew as the day wore on. Phillips ran a stellar race this weekend, but really outdid herself in the last leg. It looked like it would be a tight race between Phillips and eventual second place finisher Deke Naakeboren, but late in the day Michelle made a final push that put nearly 8 miles between the teams, and she continued to gain miles on the chase pack.
Deke along with his kennel partner Jonah Bacon led for most of the race, with commanding runs from the very beginning. They maintained their speed for most of the race, but it proved too much once Phillips decided to kick it into race mode.
Teams will continue to finish throughout the night.
