Coal City Middle School student Liam Allen is the IVC Conference Spelling Bee champion.
Allen, an eighth grader, was one of 29 students participating in the conference bee hosted by Channahon Junior High, and his spelling skills earned him a first place finish. As a school, CCMS finished second thanks to the amazing spelling of Remii Yott and Reagan Jeschke.
"It was an amazing accomplishment for Liam to take first place, and Coal City take second," said Mrs. Sweeney and Mrs. Sobieck, the school's spelling bee sponsors.
