Gray, Leonard. "Teen Spotlight: Blevins recognized for outstanding writing ability." L'Observateur. Wednesday, October 31, 2001. [As a side note, I think I got some details about the contest wrong in here. I didn't know much about it -- some other students and myself were just guided along by a teacher. (What details, you ask? I think "school write-off" isn't accurate. I believe that all of our work was sent in to be judged.)]
Blevins, Elizabeth. "What Makes a Hero." St. Charles Herald-Guide. Saturday, November 10, 2001. [The essay that Mr. Gray's article referenced. This was a timed essay. I only had an hour or two, so forgive me if it could be better.]
Honorable Mentions
I was told in 11th grade that I was "one of the most promising poets of my age group" by the poet laureate of Utah.
