The congratulations of “outstanding” and “great job” went to both student competitors after 32 rounds of spelling at their best. Wadena-Deer Creek eighth grader Chloe Leeseberg and sixth grader Noah Drange finished the trend with the word “irreversible” with a win for Leeseberg.
If you mustache Leeseberg how she feels about the second straight win, she says, “Proud of myself.” While “irreversible” moved Leeseberg one edge ahead of Drange, the winning word was “mustache.”
