Trent competed in the regional spelling bee on Sunday. The top two finishers from each of the local bees competed from the region, which included Des Moines, Ames, and Boone. It was held by the Knights of Columbus, but was open to students from all the area schools, both public and private. The bee went 105 rounds, and advanced from the 4th grade word list to the 5th grade word list, and ended with the 6th grade list when they were down to two competitors. Trent finished first! Trent's classmate Kara, who beat him at our local bee, finished 4th. Trent studied for the bee, but didn't end up getting any of the words we practiced. The state bee will be March 22 in Ames. Kudos to Trent!
