And with that, both Shourav and Nihar won the Houston Public Media Spelling Bee as co-champions.
It was a big win since both of them had ranked third in previous years, Shourav in 2014 and Nihar in 2015.



He added that he’s proud to follow his family’s tradition: His older sister, Shobha, is a previous Houston spelling co-champion.
Both students will head to Washington, D.C. in May to represent Greater Houston in the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
