To prevent injuries, linemen are learning how to stretch in the field before work. InSite Health LLC, one of the 2017 outdoor exhibitors, demonstrated stretching exercises on the day of the competition. In its first year at the Rodeo, the company took care of about 125 of the competitors. Here are some of the photos from the event.
