The Sam Houston Electric Cooperative lineman rodeo teams brought home six trophies from this year’s Texas Lineman Rodeo in Seguin.
At the 2011 competition, the Cooperative’s journeyman team brought home first place in the pole-top rescue. Team members included Jason Citrano, Glen McDaniel and Jeff Johnston, all of Woodville. Citrano brought home first place for the best overall time in the same category, as well as second place in the pole climb.
In the apprentice division, Matt Puckett, also of Woodville, took first place in the pole climb and third place in the individual pole-top rescue.
Also there to support the teams was Sam Houston EC’s barbecue team, the Shade Tree Smokers. Team members included John Williams, Heidi Williams, Larry Horn and Shirla Horn, all of Livingston.
The barbecue team also brought home honors from Seguin, winning first place with their barbecue beans and fourth place for their brisket.
Held July 14-16 at Nolte Island Park, the event, now it its 15th year, began as an opportunity for line technicians to showcase their unique skills to friends and family.
