You can catch bee contestant Aliyah Alpert, the only Arizonan in the finals, tonight on Bounce and ION, KGUN 9.4 and KGUN 9.5 beginning at 5:00 PM on Bounce and 6:30 PM on ION.
WASHINGTON — Standing on stage at the Scripps National Spelling Bee, Prescott sixth-grader Aliyah Alpert was the picture of composure.
“I’m so excited,” Aliyah said, after making it to the final round. She admitted that she did not expect to make it, calling it her “dream to get to the finals.” As crew members bustled about the cavernous ballroom at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center where the bee was held, a mostly hushed audience of parents and siblings sat and watched, politely clapping when a speller got an answer right. And also politely clapping when the dreaded bell rang to signal a wrong answer, as the contestant shuffled off the stage to be met by waiting parents.
She asked briefly about the origin of her first word Wednesday – croupous – before spelling it correctly and taking a seat with the other semifinalists in the morning.
