Spell Bowl places fourth at state

Penn High School placed fourth in the 2020 Virtual Spell Bowl State Finals.

Penn only had seven spellers (out of 10), but still qualified for state and placed fourth.

David Wang, Ashley Oh, Lydia Peterson, Felix Zhang were perfect spellers, Tasneem Ahmed and Sobia Ahmed were near-perfect spellers, and Lila Schulte spelled 7/9 words correctly. 

Additionally, David Wang, Ashley Oh, and Felix Zhang were invited to participate in an individual competition because they earned perfect scores at the Regional competition. Wang, Oh and Zhang each placed in the Top 25. Zhang scored 119/120, followed by Wang 116/120 and Oh 115/120.
