BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Bismarck eighth-grader Erik Johnson is representing North Dakota this week at the National Geographic Bee in the nation's capital.

The 26th annual national bee is Monday through Wednesday. Johnson earned the trip to Washington, D.C., to compete by winning the state competition last month in Bismarck.

The home-schooled Johnson is among 54 competitors vying for the national crown.
