Scripps News spoke to several finalists about how they are feeling after making it this far.
When competitors are up on stage at the Scripps National Spelling Bee, it comes down to one particular face-off: the speller versus the dictionary.
"At least for me, it's taken years of preparation," finalist Prahnav Anandh said."I've been participating since the third grade. So, it's gone from me not clearing my school to becoming a finalist. And over time, knowledge accumulates, and you're able to piece things more and more together." "The relief part is still setting in. And the nerves you felt throughout the whole day are still setting out, coming out," said Arth Dalsania, another finalist.
"Sometimes, you'll reach a tough spot or be doing a particular list that's extremely difficult. I think the main thing to do is not give up," said finalist Shradha Rachamreddy."So, after I missed on a word last year in the semifinals, I doubled my drive and basically worked even harder to make it to the finals this year.""We had 229 spellers, and now it's down to 11," said finalist Aryan Khedkar."I'm very excited. I'm very happy.
