Spelling Bee dropouts leave 31 in final rounds
Twelve year old Bradley Daub of Williamsport Pa exits the 44th National Spelling Bee after misspelling secessionists by omitting C. The field shrinks from 77 to 31, the largest starting pool in 44 years. The contest has featured 526 words on day one with 11 to 15 year olds competing. Michaela Kostelecky, 13, Dickinson ND, spells first but appears to misunderstand a judge's prompt.
