Show Hatch Student Wins 9th in State Contest HATCH - Jolyn Barnhurst, Hatch, competed Friday in the state-wide spelling bee at the Clayton Intermediate School in Salt Lake City where she captured ninth place among the state's top spellers. Competing against 39 spellers tackling some of the dictionary's toughest, Jolyn was finally topped by "omnipotence." Reached at her home in Hatch she acknowledged that it is one word she'll "always remember how to spell from now on." The 12-year-old sixth grader at Pangutich Elementary is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mervin Barnhurst. She has competed each year since the fourth grade and will keep trying for the next two years. |
