Mid-Ohio ESC announces spelling bee winners

MANSFIELD — The 2022 Mid-Ohio ESC County Spelling Bees took place virtually this year in the same manner as in 2021. The format of the virtual bees was similar to a typical bee where each student had the opportunity to spell a word in each round until a champion and runner-up were crowned. The county bees have remained virtual; however, students will be invited back to Mid-Ohio ESC for the Tri-County Spelling Bee Feb.10.

The Crawford/Morrow County Spelling Bee was held Jan. 13. Twenty-eight students competed. The bee lasted 14 rounds until a champion and runner-up could be determined. Kaylynne Bralow, a sixth grader at Cardington-Lincoln Schools, became champion by spelling the word “petroglyphs.” The runner-up was Highland Local Schools eighth grader Jeremiah Brown.

The Richland County Bee took place Jan. 20. Fifty-eight students competed. The bee lasted 2 1/2 hours. The final two spellers went head-to-head for the championship and spelled for an additional five rounds until Ontario eighth grader Em Henderson won by spelling the word “queue.” The runner-up was Iris P., an eighth grader from Lexington Local Schools.

The trophy that was awarded to champion Em
Henderson of Ontario.

Every speller in both bees received a certificate. Trophies for the champions and runners-up will be presented at the Tri-County Spelling Bee. All certificates and awards were provided by the Mansfield News Journal, the sponsor of the bees.

The top student spellers from each been have been invited to participate in the Tri-County Spelling Bee, which will be held at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 10 at the Mid-Ohio ESC.
