2025 Road-eo winners!
Posted On: October 23, 2025
Every fall, the five road crews come together for the Equipment Road-eo, a friendly competition that tests their skills. The crews gather at our Wenatchee shop and compete in three categories: backhoe, loader and truck.
The winners this year are, from left to right, Todd Sweeney, assistant foreman of the Entiat District; Logan Fifer of the Chelan District; Garret Kamphaus of the Entiat District; Justin Torres of the Wenatchee District; and Mark Cunning, assistant foreman of the Wenatchee District.
And the results:
- Backhoe: First place, Torres; second place, Cunning; and third place, Fifer.
- Loader: First place, Fifer; second place, Sweeney; and third place, Torres.
- Truck: First place, Kamphaus; second place, Cunning; and third place, Sweeney.
Congrats to all the crews! We really do have the best road crews in our area!
