Tuscany Hills Elementary School student Victoria Michael-Taiwo bested 25 other stellar spellers. | Reply LAKE ELSINORE, CA — A Corona-Norco Unified School District seventh-grader Thursday claimed the championship title in Riverside County's 45th Spelling Bee — extending his family's ownership of the local top speller mantle for the seventh time — and a Lake Elsinore Unified School District fourth-grader was right behind him. Avijeet Randhawa correctly spelled "forbs," a plant species, to win the bee and advance to the Scripps National Spelling Bee, where he will represent the county.
