Charlottesville speller confident

Wed, May 28, 2008 - 3:58 PM

Mariel Andersen doesn’t want to sound arrogant.

But the 13-year-old from Charlottesville thinks she did really well on the preliminary tests for the bee. (Here’s a story on Mariel from Sunday’s Daily Progress.)

But don’t worry about Mariel, an eighth grader at Jackson P. Burley Middle School. She has plans to attend a dance on Friday night if she doesn’t make the final round.

“If it doesn’t work out there are other things she has to look forward to,” said her mother, Elizabeth Andersen.
