Students from Central Indiana have won their regional competitions and are now heading to the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
CARMEL — Seven Hoosier students have won their regional competitions and are now heading to the Scripps National Spelling Bee."I remember there was a lot of parties and a lot of fun activities," Koya said."It's really cool how Scripps keeps us busy throughout our week.""I hope she does better than that, but spelling bees, there's an aspect of luck in it so if she gets a tough word or something early who knows," Koya's dad Afsal said.
Koya spelled"deathin," a poisonous plant related to the water hemlock, and "aquarelle," a style of painting using thin, typically transparent watercolors. She also had to provide the meaning or definition of altercation. "I really just want to do my best and just get the most out of the experience and know that it's my last time," she said."I want to have a lot of fun and try my best."
More than 230 students are competing in the bee, and including Koya, 45 of them will be repeat competitors.
