WASHINGTON (AP) – Maine’s contestant in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C., made it through two rounds before getting tripped up.
Thirteen-year-old Imogen Page whizzed through the written test and then the second round.
But the seventh-grader was tripped up in the third round Thursday on the word “unconscionable.” Imogen has spent most of her life in London and moved to Maine four years ago.
She was sponsored by the Association of Broadcasters.
