All eyes are on the green light Saturday morning during the 15th annual North Idaho Regional Spelling Bee at North Idaho College. The bee lasted a near-record 26 rounds, including several rounds where these three students all spelled their words correctly. Coeur d'Alene Charter Academy sixth-grader Emma Fisch, left, made it 12 rounds.

Sandpoint Middle School seventh-grader and first runner-up Urielle Abad, right, gave Joseph a run for his money when it was just the two of them battling it out for 14 rounds. (DEVIN WEEKS/Press)
