3-peat for SMU spelling team

The Saint Mary’s University interdisciplinary spelling team of Eileen Daily (theology), Paul Nienaber (physics), and Paul Weiner (math) won the Winona Corporate Spelling challenge in a field of 12 teams. They had to spell such words as “armature” (protective covering), “arachnophagous” (spider-eating), and the winning word “pursuivant” (an officer in the British College of Heralds who ranks below a herald).

This marks the third consecutive year that Saint Mary’s University has won the title.
