Five-time Henry spelling champ back at nationals

Ananya Augustine, who has won the Henry County spelling bee five years in a row from grades 4-8, is making her second trip to the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Maryland where she will compete May 31-June 2.

The Eagle’s Landing Middle School eighth-grader won her second consecutive state spelling championship this year and was the state runner-up in 2020.

Last year she placed 21st at the national finals.
