For the third year in a row, the US Scripps National Spelling Bee has ended with co-champions.
Nihar Janga, 11, of Austin, Texas, and Jairam Hathwar, 13, of Painted Post, New York, ended 39 rounds of competition to share the trophy.
“It was just insane,” Jairam said of the intense competition. His brother, Sriram, was the 2014 co-champion.
“I’m just speechless,” Nihar said. “I’m only in the fifth grade.”
The spellers will take home $40,000 in cash, trophy and other prizes.
