Gia Bautista is the 2015 spelling bee champion and she is glad that she can represent the eastern shore at the national competition in Washington, D.C. Gia was the champion last year as well and says that the competition was easier this year than last year.

Erin Welch is the 2015 spelling bee runner-up, and was the runner-up last year as well. Gia and Erin are friends and they both just enjoy the competition.

Erin gives Jimmy, Lisa, and Sean a word to try and spell and they do not do so well. They will leave the spelling up to Gia and Erin. Good luck to Gia at the national spelling bee competition.
