Benjamin Evans beat fellow Poway Unified School District student Mihir Konkapaka, an eighth grader from Mesa Verde Middle School and two-time champion.

Benjamin Evans correctly spelled Gondwana, the great southern landmass that formed as a result of the division of a much larger supercontinent known as Pangea about 250 million years ago, and chose the correct answer to the vocabulary question,"What is a symposium?" by selecting,"a conference in which people give speeches."

Evans correctly spelled epihippus — an extinct genus of the modern horse family that lived in the Eocene era, 38 million to 46 million years ago — as the winning word. Evans' favorite athletes are Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell and San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy.. They both rank as his favorite athletes. It's like choosing your favorite word. How can you pick just one?The bee began with a field of 245 spellers from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, Canada, the Bahamas, Germany and Ghana. The field is the largest since 2019.
