Nelson Wappett, 17, is an eleventh grader from Fairbanks, Alaska. He started mushing in 2011 alongside his family. Initially the family was into sprint racing, but pretty quickly turned towards mid-distance. This will be Nelson's second Jr. Iditarod, finishing 13th in 2023 after taking a slight detour on the Yentna River. He has also run Willow Jr. 100 in 2021 (2nd place), 2022 (4th place), and 2024 (4th place). Aside from running dogs, he can also be found playing soccer, weight lifting, running and hanging out with friends and family. After graduation, Nelson would like to go to medical school and become a doctor. If the opportunity present, he would like to have sled dogs when he is older and continue racing.
