LOGAN, Utah (AP) — A Logan eighth-grader is heading to the National Geography Bee in Washington, D.C., after winning the state bee for a second straight year.
Fourteen-year-old Gauri Garg of Bear River Charter School won the state title at Thanksgiving Point last week by correctly identifying Bathurst, Melville and Mornington as islands in Australia.
The Herald Journal newspaper of Logan reports the other finalist incorrectly answered the islands were in the United Kingdom.
The top 100 students in Utah who survived school competition took part in the state bee.
The national bee will be held May 11 through 13.
