12-year-old queen wins National Spelling Bee like it ain’t no thang
So cool: Ananya Vinay, a 12-year-old from Fresno, Calif., has been crowned this year’s Scripps National Spelling Bee champion.
And she handled it like a total boss.
Ananya Vinay never looked all that impressed by any of the words she was given in the finals of the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
…
It was the first time since 2013 that the bee declared a sole champion. After three straight years of ties, the bee added a tiebreaker test this year, and it looked like it might come into play as Ananya and Rohan dueled for nearly 20 rounds.
A push in the right direction
One of the best things about working at the Valley News is how close we are as a staff. Everyone is always willing to lend a hand.
So it’s no surprise several editors and a reporter came to the aid of Features Editor Alex Hanson on Thursday when he had some car trouble.
