Alaska's Spelling Stars Head to D.C.
Two Alaskan spelling whizzes, 14-year-old Aidan Cole and 13-year-old Andie Seavey, are headed to D.C. for the Scripps National Spelling Bee — one of the nation’s most prestigious word challenges. Aidan, a Kenai eighth-grader, stunned the state with his win in March, nailing “thrasonical” to claim the title. Andie, from Fairbanks, balances spelling with percussion, knitting, baking, and theater. With 247 competitors vying for $50,000, they’re diving into intense rounds — quarterfinals and semifinals this week, with the live finals airing Thursday afternoon on ION. These bright young minds are ready to shine. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
