Kush Sharma wins Jackson County spell-off before overflow crowd - KansasCity.com http://www.kansascity.com/2014/03/08/4874412/kush-sharma-wins-jackson-county.html[3/10/2014 8:50:44 AM] On Feb. 22, the competition was suspended when the judges ran out of words. Coming back Saturday to pick up their marathon bout, Sophia, 11, a Lees Summit fifth-grader misspelled her word stifling in Round 28. After an appeal, a judges huddling to review a recording and then a break, Kush, 13, a seventh-grader from Kansas City, stepped to the microphone in the bone quiet of Helzberg Auditorium at the Kansas City Central Library. He needed one word to win it all and a trip to the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C. As soon as the pronouncer gave it to him everyone knew it was over. But then a woman at the officials table broke in to say her audio equipment had stopped working. A technician hurried over. It was during that little break that Kush, standing alone, turned to Sophia sitting behind him. They locked eyes, tears in hers, and she gave him a little smile. When he turned back, a bit of woe crowded the excitement on his face. It had all been so good, so fun, so special and so long and he was about to end it. After nailing earlier killer words like hemerocallis and jacamar, Kush spelled definition after first, of course, asking for its definition. Behind him, Sophia was first to clap, happy for the friend she got to know in passing 75 times back and forth to the microphone. Kush, a polite young man, patiently gave the moderator a handshake before hurriedly going to Sophia. They hugged. Minutes later, Sophia said, It was a great experience and Im happy for Kush. She added she would be back next year. News outlets all over the country and world had picked up on these two. They had traded madeleine for scherzo, mukhtar for bobbejaan, and on and on for more than five hours. They and their families traveled to New York on ABCs dime to appear on Good Morning America, a show widely watched that day at Sophias Highland Park Elementary in Lees Summit and Kushs Frontier School of Innovation in Kansas City. Scripps officials rejected a groundswell push on Twitter to Send Them Both! Both Kush and Sophia crammed for Saturdays finale. Sophia got help from her sister, Jordan, 15, who won the bee three times from 2010 and 2012. A.K. Sharma worried his son didnt get enough sleep the night before. I told him he was supposed to be in bed at 10, but he wanted to stay up and watch Jimmy Fallon, Sharma said. Because of the unprecedented attention for the showdown, a large projection screen on the librarys main floor enabled viewing for an overflow crowd of more than a hundred. Neither skipped a beat until Sophias miss in Round 28. During the ensuing break, she gathered with her family. Kush saw Sophia crying.

Stop crying or youre going to make me cry, he told her. She looked up and laughed. Next year, they will probably see each other again. Trending Offers and Articles Missouri Will this stock explode?
