Wayne County speller Andrew Yeager, 14, tied for 111th place in 2021.

Both of his parents, along with his older brother, have all had forays into the world of competitive spelling. His father added, “Mom won a round way back when, I won a round when I was in eighth grade and [he’s] just kind of carrying on the tradition.”
