Cass County’s Luna Gasevic was able to spell tuberculosis correctly to win the North Dakota State Spelling Bee on Monday at the Bismarck Event Center. Gasevic is a twelve-year-old and attends Ben Franklin Middle School.

Over 90 students from 48 different counties throughout the state competed in the event. Chinmay Gopi, who also attends Ben Franklin Middle School, finished in second place during Monday’s competition.

Luna Gasevic will now represent North Dakota at the 2022 Scripps National Spelling Bee near Washington, D.C. in May.
