SAA Student National Vocabulary Champion

Here's some breaking news. Bobby Marsland, St. Ambrose Academy senior, became National Vocabulary Champion today after winning the First Annual National Vocabulary Competition, to be aired nationally on the Game Show Network. Held today at the New York Public Library, Bobby beat 49 other finalists, and 30,000 competitors total, to become champion. The competition will be shown on April 15.

Giving his spelling and vocabulary background, this doesn't come as a huge surprise to us Ambrosians. Nevertheless, Bobby's achievement is very impressive. Congratulations!
