The Charles Mix Republican Women have changed the name of their organization to South Central Republican Women. President Trudy Qualm states, “We currently have members from 8 counties from this area, so the name Charles Mix Republican Women no longer reflects who we are and the area we focus on.” The official name change application was reviewed and approved by both the National Federation of Republican Women and the South Dakota Federation of Republican Women.

Gregory hosted the Gregory Invitational on March 29th. The track meet wasn’t a perfect weather day, but we were able to get everything completed before the snow started falling. For the group as a whole I felt we competed well against the teams that were represented. I felt we had a good day in the field events. In the running events we struggled with some hand-offs in the relays; we will need to get that fixed in the near future. In the running open events we also found some success; we hope to continue to improve in that area also. It’s early yet in the track season, so we’re looking forward to getting stronger and able to compete at a higher level.
