Harini Logan, a 13-year-old eighth-grader from San Antonio, Texas, spelled 21 words correctly during a 90-second spell-off to win the title.
Harini Logan, 14, from San Antonio, Texas, celebrates winning the Scripps National Spelling Bee on Thursday with Scripps CEO Adam Symson, left, and family members in Oxon Hill, Md. OXON HILL, Md. — Harini Logan was eliminated from the Scripps National Spelling Bee once, then reinstated. She missed four words in a grueling standoff against Vikram Raju, including one that would have given her the title.
The key moment came during the bee’s much-debated multiple-choice vocabulary round, when Harini defined the word “pullulation” as the nesting of mating birds. Scripps said the correct answer was the swarming of bees.“We did a little sleuthing after you finished, which is what our job is, to make sure we’ve made the right decision,” head judge Mary Brooks said to Harini.
From there, Harini breezed into the finals against Vikram. They each spelled two words correctly. Then Scripps brought out the toughest words of the night.
