Dev, a 14-year-old from Largo, Florida, had his spelling career interrupted by the pandemic, then didn’t make it out of his regional bee last year.
Dev, who previously appeared in the bee in 2019 and 2021, was close with many of his fellow finalists. When the field had been narrowed to just Dev and Charlotte, Scripps brought out the buzzer used for its “spell-off” tiebreaker, and Dev was momentarily confused when he stepped to the microphone. Dev wins more than $50,000 in cash and prizes and is the 22nd champion in the past 24 years with South Asian heritage.
Deval said his son showed an incredible recall with words starting at age 3, and Dev spent many years in participating in academic competitions staged by the North South Foundation, a nonprofit that provides scholarships to children in India.
