Sorry for the short break in blogging, but it got a little crazy around here.

The 288 spellers have been narrowed down to 90 quarterfinalists.

Here are six that we’re following for Media General’s newspapers and television stations:

- Mayee Zhu of Winterville, N.C. Mayee is a 12-year-old seventh grader at Hope Middle School and this is her second time at the bee.

- Baron Fenwick of Boone, N.C. Baron is a 14-year-old eighth grader at Green Valley School.

- Jackson Crist of North Charleston, S.C. Jackson, 13, is a home-schooled eighth grader and a member of the Lowcountry Christian Home Educators Association.

- Keiko Bridwell of Woodruff, S.C., is a 13-year-old seventh grader at Florence Chapel Middle School.

- Torey Jackson of Dillwyn, Va., is a 14-year-old eighth grader at Fuqua School.

- Sachith Gullapalli of Roanoke, Va., is an 11-year-old seventh grader at Hidden Valley Middle School. This is his third appearance at the bee.

Stay tuned. The quarterfinals are about to begin.

  1. I have found a lot of useful information from this platform. I must say that sharing your thoughts with one another is an easy way to relax yourself in the daily hectic routines. Each time a description of the change, there are always lots of talk about it anywhere. These are not exempt.  I mean one must be up to date with the day to day change in the environment and in the technology as well. In my personal opinion, the world is turning into a global village and now you can get a lot of required information by just a click while sitting where ever you are.
