Linemen with the fastest times and the least deductions win the 2018 Lineman's Rodeo.

For the last 35 years, linemen have competed to be the best of the best at the International Lineman's Rodeo. Apprentices and journeymen linemen often practice year-round for the Rodeo, when they showcase their skills in the spotlight in front of their friends and families.
