What city, divided by a river of the same name, was the imperial capital of Vietnam? The answer to this question - Hue - won 14-year-old Caitlin Snaring from Redmond, Wash., a $25,000 college scholarship Wednesday at the 19th annual National Geographic Bee. Caitlin is only the second girl to win in the bees history.
I dont know why more girls arent interested in geography, she told reporters after winning the championship round. I wanted a girl winner this year.
This was Caitlins second time representing Washington state at the competition which challenges 10-to-14-year-old knowledge of geography, culture and geology. Last year she was eliminated in the preliminary round. Her father, David Snaring, said she started studying for the 2007 bee the day after her loss. She even studied while attending her brothers baseball games, he said.
