Saint Mary's spellers defend their title

The Saint Mary's University spelling team of Paul Nienaber, Jenny Shanahan and Paul Weiner won their second straight spelling title at the Winona ORC Corporate Spelling Challenge. They managed to correctly spell words throughout the 15-round event, including: vanadium, sonobuoy, illimitable, and the winning word quinquevir. The word that eliminated the last remaining team was holobenthic.
