General Brown student competing at national spelling bee
WASHINGTON, D.C. (WWTI) – A north country seventh-grader will be looking to continue his success at the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
Micah Sterling, who is a student in the General Brown Central School District, is 12 years old and is a veteran for previous spelling bees.
Sterling first qualified for the event in 2022, when he was nine years old. Last year, he finished 22nd out of 250 students.
This is year is a banner year for the bee, as it's the 100th edition of the event.
'It feels great. Just representing my school, my region. It's really fun,' Sterling told Nexstar's Washington, D.C., affiliate.
The spelling bee starts today and the finals will be on Thursday.
