Andrews second, Lee third?

[edit]

I removed the statement that Ned Andrews had placed second and Brian Kane Lee third in the previous bee, as this is verifiably false. As our article 66th Scripps National Spelling Bee states, as per its sources, in the year before second place went to David Urban and third place to Yuni Kim.

  • Well, that's interesting, glad you caught that. Looks like the NY Times article I cited claimed that to be the case "This was the third contest for the two finalists. In their best showings, which were last year, Ned came in second and Brian third."--Milowenthasspoken 12:15, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I remember seeing that in that article too. I ranked 21st in the 1994 bee and read that very article (I was the contestant alluded to who misspelled "arugula"). Khemehekis (talk) 05:35, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
