Competition was intense between the 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders through five rounds. Finally, after eight rounds Emma Myers won with the championship word “full-fledged.” Phillip Cervantes is runner-up. The next stage in the competition is the Ventura County Bee held March 7 at California State Channel Islands University.
