Profile
Alea, 17, began mushing at the age of 3 with her
golden retriever and got her first sled dog when
she was 7. This will be her second Jr. Iditarod. In
2012, Alea competed in the Arctic Winter Games,
winning two silvers and a gold as well as a
Fairplay Award. She won two seven dog Junior World
Championships in 2012 and first place points. Alea
says, “I have been mushing for about 14 years.
I have been able to travel to many different places
for mushing such as France, California, Montana and
Canada. Most of my dogs come from Jessie Royer. I
have competed in sprint and distance mushing.
Although my dogs are originally from distance
lines, they have also successfully run in
sprints.” Alea currently attends Alaska
Pacific University in the Early Honors program. She
originally attended Chugiak High School where she
participated in Cross Country Running, Track and
Field, and National Honor Society. She says she
enjoys reading, hiking, running, horseback riding
and anything involving the out of doors. She plans
to go to college on the east coast and thinks
she’ll “probably” continue mushing
after college graduation. Eagle River, AK, USA
