Local school bus drivers take part in ‘roadeo’, showing off their skills
BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — School bus drivers from Pender, Brunswick and New Hanover counties recently took part in a bus ‘roadeo’.
The event provided the chance for drivers to demonstrate their expertise behind the wheel as they navigated through a series of challenging maneuvers set up by the DMV.
From precision turns to obstacle courses, each driver showcased their skills and agility, aiming for the highest scores possible.
The top three drivers from each county earned the opportunity to advance to the district-level competition scheduled in Fayetteville at the end of April.
Pender County Schools emerged as a standout, with drivers claiming both first and third place across all participating counties. Teresa Coston, representing South Topsail Elementary, clinched the top spot. Not only did she secure first place within PCS, but she also topped the charts among all counties.
Following closely behind was Surf City Elementary/Middle, Topsail High driver Sean Walker who secured second place for PCS and third place overall. And let’s not forget Austin Kelly who drives for Cape Fear Elementary/Middle, Heide Trask – his impressive performance earned him third place for PCS.
