GALION​ – It was not a “catastrophic” night for Caitlyn Thieret.

After nine rounds of competition, Thieret, an eighth-grader from Highland Middle School, spelled that word correctly and became the Morrow County Spelling Bee Champion. Antique DiLorenzo, a fifth-grader from Highland, was runner-up.

Twenty-eight spellers competed in the bee held Jan. 23 at Northmor.

Other students rounding out the top 12 spellers included: Fourth-grader Ky Barlow and fifth-grader at Cohen Johnson; seventh-grader Terra Dean; sixth-grader Jeremiah Brown; fifth-grader Fritz Johnson and fifth-grader Landon Hughes of Highland and sixth-grader Jillian Zegler; sixth-grader Dane Creswell; fifth-grader Max Keller; and fourth-grader Sawyer Roose of Northmor.

Every speller received a certificate, and the champion and first runner-up received awards.

Certificates and awards were provided by the the Morrow County House of Trophies.

The top 12 qualifiers are invited to participate in the Tri-County Spelling Bee held at the Mid-Ohio Conference Center, 890 W. Fourth St., on Feb. 13 at 6:30 p.m. The public is welcome to attend the spelling bee.
