FORT KENT — The Can Am Crown 250 was officially over Tuesday afternoon but a lone musher was still on the trail between Allagash and Fort Kent and was expected to cross the finish line while a mushers banquet was being held Tuesday night.

Eleven of the 12 mushers in the race — three had scratched during the competition — were into Fort Kent just minutes after noon Tuesday.

Bill Matott on Manchester, N.H., runs malamutes, which are mostly show dogs who run for exercise. He took it easy on his team throughout the race. He left the last checkpoint at Allagash at 8:55 a.m. Tuesday and was expected to reach the Lonesome Pine Ski Lodge at Fort Kent sometime after 6 p.m.

Matott was still 100 miles from the finish line when Don Hibbs of Millinocket crossed the finish line of the 250-mile race early Monday morning in a record time of 28 hours and nine minutes.

George Cook of Ashland, N.H., crossed the finish line at 8:15 p.m. Monday night in ninth place.

On Tuesday, Michael Santos of Ludlow, Mass., came across the fisnish line at 9:41 a.m. and Barry Dana of Bingham came across at 12:05 p.m., in 10th and 11th.

Hibbs is the first musher from Maine to win the five-year-old race and the only winner besides Andre Nadeau of St. Melanie, Quebec.
