Congratulations to winners Ken Rubin, Tim Levin, and Steph Chou of Bespoke Education, to the runners-up Michèle Cella, Jonathan Silverman, and Erik Weiselberg of Irvington High School, and to all the intrepid spellers who showed extraordinary grace under fire and unflagging good humor.

And thanks, of course, to the generous volunteers, sponsors and advertisers who showed their support for the Irvington Public Library and made this 9th Bee possible.
