National Spelling Bee: It's a Tie!

For the first time in 52 years, the Scripps National Spelling Bee crowned two winners Thursday night, after the final two competitors exhausted the word list. The winners were Sriram Hathwar, an eighth-grader from Painted Post, New York, and Ansun Sujoe, a seventh-grader from Fort Worth, Texas. "I like sharing the victory with someone else," Ansun said. "It's been quite shocking and quite interesting, too. It's very rare."
