Description

A Twin Peaks Middle School eighth grader Thursday won the 2024 San Diego County Scripps Regional Spelling Bee and will represent the county at the National Spelling Bee. Benjamin Evans earned the title by successfully spelling the word "epihippus," an extinct genus of the modern horse family that lived in the Eocene era, 46-38 million years ago. He will represent San Diego County at the Scripps National Spelling Bee in the Washington, D.C. area in late May, with semifinals and finals in June. Evans beat fellow Poway Unified School District student Mihir Konkapaka, an eighth grader from Mesa Verde Middle School and two-time champion of the county bee.
