Long Beach seventh grader Medina Miranda made the Finals of the Scripps National Spelling Bee last weekend, ultimately being eliminated for misspelling “orans” to finish in a tie for 21st.

Miranda will receive $2,000 for reaching the Finals—she reached that round as one of 41 finalists after advancing from a field of more than 500 who qualified via multiple-choice spelling test. Miranda is a student at Stanford Middle School in East Long Beach.
