A St. Cloud Metro Bus driver placed first in the Minnesota State "Roadeo" in Duluth.

Metro Bus says that Dial-A-Ride bus operator Todd DeZurik took first place in the small bus division out of 26 drivers. He is now qualified to compete at the national level in 2019. DeZurik placed third nationally last month after winning the state "Roadeo" last year. 

Other local winners include Dial-A-Ride driver Chris Osmek, who placed 6th in the small bus division. Fixed Route drivers Mike Keller and Jerry Schmitz placed sixth and seventh in the large bus division.
