Kerri is the morning host and anchor of KSTU’s award-winning news program “Good Day Utah.”
PARK CITY, Utah — The Scripps Spelling Bee is a perfect competition for logophiles, lovers of words, and FOX 13’s Kerri Cronk recently sat down with one of Utah’s competitors hoping for a victory.
“In the spelling bee we don’t need to add spaces or punctuation or accents,” Sasha said. “You just have to put the correct letters in order." Long words like"onomatopoeia" pose a big challenge for the competitors, because there are no do-overs when spelling those long words in front of the judges. That is with one exception explains Sasha.
