Macy Holster won the 2022 Washington County Spelling Bee last (Tuesday) night.  She correctly spelled the words petrifying and haphazard in the 15th and 16th rounds to win.  Second place finisher Will Hefferly tripped up on the word affectionately in the 15th round.  This year the winner did not have to spell the missed word, only two new words.  Both Macy and Will are students at Alton Elementary School.  Third place finisher Corbin Brooks tripped up on the word emperor in the 6th round.

Macy is the daughter of Sean and Mindy Holster.  Will is the son of Andy and Abby Hefferly and Corbin is the son of William and Carol Brooks.  Macy will now advance to Houston Public Media Spelling Bee in March.  KWHI has been a sponsor of the spelling bee since its inception in 1955, and has provided cash prizes to the top three spellers at the event each year.  A video of the entire Spelling Bee can be viewed on KWHI's Facebook page.

The three spelling champions are (L to R) 1st Place Macy Holster, 2nd Place Will Hefferly, and 3rd Place Corbin Brooks.
