SENSATIONAL SPELLERS. York Middle School eighth-grade students Ryan Twohig (left) and Zachary White took the top spots in the school's annual spelling bee competition, held in February. Both Zachary, who won first place, and Ryan, who came in second, then headed to Wells on Feb. 27 for the county competition, where both had strong showings in a field of about 30 participants. Zachary made it through the third round and Ryan through the second. Both boys said they had never won a spelling bee before and enjoyed trying something new in the contest. The York Middle School competition is part of the Scripps National Spelling Bee program. Students who go on to win at the county level and then at the state are entered into the national contest.
