We are so proud of our Denver Post Colorado State Spelling Bee champion, Nikhil Ganta!

You represented Colorado with poise, talent, and determination at the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C., and we have a feeling this won’t be your last time on the national stage.

Congratulations, Nikhil! We hope to see you back in March as you pursue another state title.

Want to see how Nikhil finished at the Scripps National Spelling Bee? Here's a great story by Denver Post reporter Elizabeth Hernandez on his impressive run.

Colorado sixth-grader toppled by ‘carreta’ during Scripps National Spelling Bee semifinals Nikhil Ganta advanced to the nearly century-old national contest after winning the 86th annual Denver Post Colorado State Spelling Bee in March.

Congratulations to Nikhil Ganta for advancing to the Scripps National Spelling Bee quarterfinals, which will be held Wednesday morning! He joins 94 other spellers who scored higher than 13 on the Round 3 test. Keep up the great work - Colorado is cheering for you! 🍀🐝

We also want to congratulate Derek Li on a strong showing at the national competition. His journey ended in a tie for 96th place following his elimination in Round 3.

Good luck to Nikhil as the competition continues! To watch live, see the attached photo for viewing information or visit spellingbee.com.
