Friday after seven rounds, a spelling bee champion at Roosevelt Elementary was crowned.

Third-grade student Dakota Maier spelled the word penalty correctly to take home first place. Third grade student Ella Pfeifer took second place.

There was an exciting five-round spell-off to determine third place and the alternate. Fifth-grade student Kamryn Daniels won the spell-off to win third, and fifth-grade student Olivia Goetz won fourth and is the alternate. The competitors will continue to sharpen their skills in order to compete at the county spelling bee in January.
