POWAY, Calif. - An eighth grader from Twin Peaks Middle School in Poway advanced Tuesday the third round of the Scripps National Spelling Bee in National Harbor, Maryland.
Evans correctly spelled epihippus -- an extinct genus of the modern horse family that lived in the Eocene era, 38 million to 46 million years ago -- as the winning word. The bee began with a field of 245 spellers from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, Canada, the Bahamas, Germany and Ghana. The field is the largest since 2019.
