Show Notes
Thirteen-year-old Hannah Li from Los Alamos Middle School triumphed at the New Mexico State Spelling Bee, securing her first-place win after two consecutive second and third-place finishes. She outshone Max Berger from Albuquerque Academy, who claimed second place, and Cuillena Spacek from Hills Academy in Farmington, who earned third. The competition, held at Central New Mexico Community College, featured challenging words like chupacabra and clavichord, narrowing down to Li and Berger in the final rounds. Lis victory was a result of her unique study approach, focusing on spelling patterns from various languages, and her composure throughout the event. She is now set to represent New Mexico at the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C., in late May.
