Dan Kaduce raced across the finish line in Nome Tuesday evening in fourth, pumping his fist in the air, as the sun started to set over the Bering Sea. He had just notched his best-ever Iditarod finish. And he still had his entire 14-dog team, APM reports.

Kaduce is the only musher this year who didn’t send at least one dog home from the trail.

“Getting them all here — I’m just crazy proud of them,” he said upon finishing. Iditarod Chief Veterinarian Stu Nelson agreed. He said that as far as he can remember, Kaduce’s fourth place is the highest finish of any Iditarod musher with a full team of dogs.

Brent Sass won the Iditarod 2022, reaching the finish line in Nome with 11 dogs.
