DID YOU KNOW? for September 13 – 26, 2022

Did You Know… 14-year old Harini Logan is the 2022 Scripps National Spelling Bee champion after a first-ever spell-off at the 94-year old event. The Texas 8th grader received a trophy and check for $50,000 after going head-to-head with Vikram Raju, of Colorado. The spell-off, a format that tested the contestants on how many words they could correctly spell within 90 seconds was necessary because the two finalists remained tied after 18 rounds – the maximum number of rounds the Bee allows. In the spell-off Harini spelled 21 of 26 words correctly, while Vikram got 15 of 19 words right.

Visit the Social Justice Webpage for more on Harini Logan and sample words from the 2022 Scripps Spelling Bee championship, along with past DID YOU KNOW? features.
