And the Winner Is....

....Hans Gatt!

When Hans Gatt left the ice of the Yukon to guide his dogs up the steep river bank and on to Mainstreet in Whitehorse, crossing the finish line at 6: 54 am, he became the 2004 Champion of the Yukon Quest Sled Dog Race with a new Fairbanks-Whitehorse record of 10 days 18 hours and 48 minutes.

Congratulations to Hans and especially to all his dogs....
