Preston and Blackfoot Maintenance sheds dominate District 5 Equipment Roadeo as Beckstead makes another run at state

Nearly 30 competitors took part in the District 5 truck roadeo June 4 in the Pocatello yard, with Matt Beckstead and Jed Gregerson from the Preston maintenance shed finishing in the first two slots.  Jared Loosli and Brandon Steffens, both from the Blackfoot shed, finished in third and fourth place, respectively.

Beckstead has now advanced to the state competition four times, and has made two trips to the national competition at the Western Snow & Ice event. All four winners from D4 will compete at the state event in District 3 on June 18.

Gregerson (now three trips) and Steffens (now twice) are returning to the state event. It will be Loosli’s first trip.

Counting participants, judges and visitors, there were 76 people in attendance.
