GYMNASTS HEAD DOWN HOME STRETCH

Just Two Regular Season Meets Remain
GYMNASTS HEAD DOWN HOME STRETCH
McKenna Heer, the lone senior on the B-H gymnastics squad, competed in floor exercise in her final home meet.

    The Britton-Hecla gymnastics team competed in its biggest meet to date this season at Madison on Saturday and placed fifth among a 10-team field.
    “This was not our best competition of the year but we did have some highlights,” said B-H coach Angela Grupe.  “Taryn Kraft received her third state-qualifying score for beam and is now qualified for state, and Jaelee Grupe added a qualifying score on vault.
    “We added 1.5 in start value to our team score since the last meet and knew we had to start to work it out with only a few meets left this season,” added Grupe.  “W counted more falls than we have all year, but we can take that back to practice and continue to prepare for the postseason.”
    Abby Lee was the only individual placer for the Lady Braves.  The junior finished sixth on the uneven parallel bars.
    The local gymnasts will compete at Deuel on Friday and then travel back to Deuel on Saturday, Feb. 1, for the final regular season meet.  The Northeast Conference and Region 1 meet is set for Madison on Thursday, Feb. 6.

Poll: END OR RETAIN EXPANDED MEDICAID COVERAGE? South Dakota voters will decide in November on a proposed constitutional amendment that would end the state’s expanded Medicaid coverage if the federal government’s share of funding for the expansion falls below 90%. The expansion, approved by voters in 2022, provides Medicaid eligibility to certain adults ages 19 to 64 with incomes up to the federal limit established by the constitutional amendment. The proposed amendment would remove that expanded coverage if the federal funding level drops below 90%. If the election were held today, how would you vote?
