She also continued Dibrell’s dominance of the event.“I’m going to take this trophy to school tomorrow to show all my classmates,” said Haley, who was last year’s runner-up.She attributed her victory to hours and hours of work.“I filled two 75-page notebooks writing the words and rewriting them,” said Haley, who was given a list of study words like all spelling bee finalists.Haley outlasted Covenant Academy fifth-grader Gracie Upchurch, who finished second.
