Top Spellers Compete in 96th Scripps National Spelling Bee
The 2024 Scripps National Spelling Bee saw intense competition among 245 spellers, including six returning finalists. Aliyah Alpert, an eighth-grader from Phoenix, advanced to the semifinals but was ultimately eliminated by the word "omao." This was her last chance to compete due to age restrictions. The event featured participants from all 50 states, D.C., U.S. territories, and Ghana, with parents and supporters actively cheering on the contestants.
