Kavya Shivashankar of Olathe won it all on Laodicean, which means halfhearted in respect to religion or politics. It was the poised eighth grader's fourth trip to the bee. With her father as a coach, Kavya pored over lists of possible words for months, she said.
"You have to know you want to do it," she said after hoisting the winner's trophy. "You have to put the effort into it." In the earlier rounds, students plowed through obscure words like omphaloskepsis and Caerphilly (which has nothing to do with parking your car in Center City), hoping to avoid the dreaded "bing" that signaled a botched spelling.
