No but that word is very easy. Breaking up syllables is easy to do, and there are no tricks on that word.
Supercalifragilisticexplialidocious is tough though, and I have no idea if I spelled it right. Of course, it is a nonsense word so it doesn’t really count. Dick Van Dyke probably made it up.
Is your background Indian (as in from India)? I notice that over the last several years the Bee has been dominated by people of Indian ethnicity and in the documentary “Spellbound” they showed that some Indian families put a lot of pressure on their children to excel in spelling contests. Was that the case when you were involved, and if not what do you think caused the change in the demographics of the game?
One too many 'L’s. 
I am as Caucasian as they come. Yes the Indians have been fairly dominant recently. In my time it was a general smattering. The top four my year as I remember were two Caucasians, an Asian, and an Indian.
As for what I think caused the change…I believe Spellbound itself probably had an impact as Nupur Lala was the star. The Spelling Bee is an interesting phenomenon in that all you require as parents is to have a talented and willing child, and the motivation to put in the work and you have as good a chance as any.
As for why the Indians excel in general, that probably requires some stereotyping of “they are hard workers, etc.” The Spelling Bee, due to the huge amount of words to learn, is probably 80% hard work and 20% talent. Luck obviously is an innate part of the competition as well.
Ah the one after the P. See that is why getting the pronouncer to repeat is key! You can’t spell the word if you don’t know the word.
Shoulda asked her to spell “renascent”, and when she got it wrong, say “Yeah, the guy that lost to me in the 1993 Scripps Howard National Spelling Bee got it wrong as well - it’s a hard one.”
What’s your most common typo?
She woulda been like “Oh that’s nice. Did I tell you how good a speller I am?”
Renascent is actually pretty easy because it is common, but when he kept asking for more information it was like “Hmm maybe he doesn’t know it…” Then it was like “OK one more word and it’s over…Here goes…” “Kamikaze.” “Really?”
I don’t actually have one I can think of that repeats itself. I did have to edit necessary in an above post but that was strictly a typo.
I’ve always been a good speller (thought I aced myself out of the bee in 8th grade because I spelled my word too fast they misheard what I said), and I’ve found that my color-grapheme synesthesia helps me spell words. Once I see a word, I see what color all the letters are. If it’s misspelled, the colors are in the wrong order.
As I said, though, I didn’t get up high enough to get to the really nasty words, so I’m not sure how well it would work for those.
ETA: Oops, and I realized I just resurrected a zombie. I can spell BRAAAIIINS! 
Have you ever heard of a Broadway show called The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee(warning, flash and auto-play sound). My sister in law was a regional champion and loved it. It’s not a documentary, but a fun take on the spelling bee world and the kids that are part of it. It’s mostly focused on the kids and tells their story.
Enjoy,
