13-year-old representing Delaware in spelling bee

NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. (AP) -- It's a big day for Delaware's only contestant in the Scripps National Spelling Bee.

Josie Carlozzi, a 13-year-old at St. Catherine of Siena School in Greenville, is preparing to compete Wednesday in the oral rounds. The event, which is being held this year in Maryland at a convention center just outside of Washington, D.C., began on Tuesday with a written test of 25 words. The scores from the
written test will be combined with Wednesday's oral rounds to determine the semifinalists.
