MANSFIELD — Scrumptiously is a good word to describe the way Maddy Martin spelled at the Crawford County Spelling Bee last Thursday, Jan. 9 at Crestline High School.
With that word, Martin, a seventh grader from St. Bernard Catholic School in New Washington, became the spelling bee champion. Drake Moyer, an eighth grader from Crestline Exempted Village Schools, was the runner-up with the word Honolulu.
The top 12 contestants will go on to compete in the Tri-County Spelling Bee on Feb. 13 at 6:30 p.m. at the Mid-Ohio Conference Center on Fourth Street in Mansfield.
The following students will be competing:
Crestline: Shawna Riddlebaugh (6), Liliana Bunch (8), Drake Moyer (8), AJ Wise (8).
St. Bernard: Sophia Martin (6) Maddy Martin (7) .
Galion: Stella Volz (5), Claire Wiggins (5), Jillian Capretta (7), Wyatt Estep (8), Courtney Woerlein (8).
Wynford: Kylie Carroll (5).
Every speller received a certificate, and the champion and first runner-up received awards. Certificates and awards were provided by the Mansfield News Journal.
