Carter Nelson, who will be an eighth grader at Britton-Hecla this fall, has qualified for the Region 8 United States Track and Field (USATF) event to be held in Aberdeen July 5-7.

The top eight placers at the Dakotas USATF meet held in Aberdeen on Saturday advanced to regional competition, and Nelson placed second in all three events in which he competed. He came up with personal bests in the shot put (31-8) and javelin (70-8) and threw the discus 80-8 for his three second place finishes.

Region 8 includes South and North Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa, and Wisconsin. Those placing among the top five in the regional will qualify for the National Junior Olympic Championships at Texas A&M University July 2230.

Poll: REGIONS FOR AMBULANCE SERVICE? A legislative task force is considering a plan to organize South Dakota’s ambulance services into eight to 14 regions, potentially with state oversight and funding to help keep emergency medical services sustainable. The proposal comes as many ambulance services face financial challenges, low reimbursement rates and an aging, often volunteer workforce. Lawmakers say the goal is to ensure an ambulance can respond when someone calls 911, but establishing the regions and determining how they would be funded could take years. Do you support creating regional ambulance service systems with state oversight and potential state funding?

Yes, regional systems could help ensure reliable ambulance service.

No, ambulance services should remain organized locally.

Unsure. I would need more information about how it would work.
