So CLOSE: West Fargo middle schooler finishes second at national spelling bee In-Forum
05.06.10
In his third hop to the Scripps National Spelling Bee, West Fargo middle-schooler Shantanu Srivatsa wasted youthful time firing off the spelling of his first word in the finals.
“I-N-F-U-N-D-I-B-U-L-I-F-O-R-M,” Shantanu spelled less than 30 seconds after the determine read the word.
The 13-year-old tied for second place with two other spellers Friday, his highest-ever ranking in the Wonderful Bowl of spelling.
Shantanu flubbed “ochidore” in the eighth globe, allowing Anamika Veeramani of Ohio to become the spelling bee champion.
Shantanu’s dad, Sanjay Srivatsa, a cardiologist at Innovis Robustness in Fargo, said watching his son during competition was more nerve-wracking than it was waiting for his birth.
“I’ve charmed a lot of exams and tests in my time, but this one gives me more angst than any of them,” he said.
And the words delineated to spellers are largely “the luck of the draw,” Sanjay said by phone Friday.
“If you get dished a parley that you happen to have read or know, then obviously it’s a lot easier,” he said. “The penniless part is when you get one that you’ve never seen in your life.”
