The 70th Scripps National Spelling Bee was held in Washington, D.C. on May 28-29, 1997, sponsored by the E.W. Scripps Company.
Thirteen-year-old Rebecca Sealfon, from Brooklyn, New York won the competition by correctly spelling the word "euonym".[2] Sealfon's exclamation while spelling her final, winning word has been called one of the most notable moments from National Spelling Bee history, a "made for TH-cam" moment.[3][4]
Second-place went to 11-year old Prem Murthy Trivedi of Howell, New Jersey, and third to 13-year old Sudheer Potru of Beverly Hills, Michigan.[
