Can you spell history? The 92nd Scripps National Spelling Bee had an epic ending with eight co-champions.
The spelling bee was stopped after it went 20 rounds, which included a run of 47 correct words to end the competition.
The decision was made after round 17, when it was decided that while there were plenty of words left in the dictionary, there were only enough challenging words for three final rounds.
The eight co-champions are: Abhijay Kodali, Rishik Gandhasri, Erin Howard, Saketh Sundar, Shruthika Padhy, Sohum Sukhatankar, Christopher Serrao and Rohan Raja.Abhijay Kodali, 12, of Flower Mound, Texas, one of eight co-champions in the finals of the Scripps National Spelling Bee, Friday, May 31, 2019, in Oxon Hill, Md.
