(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #1: The word is murraya.
ZAILA AVANT-GARDE: Murraya. Does this word contain, like, the English name Murray, which gives you the name of a comedian - or just an English name in general?
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #1: I don t see that here.
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #2: Bill Murray made the spelling bee.
AVANT-GARDE: Murraya. M-U-R-R-A-Y-A.
(APPLAUSE)
MARTIN: That is 14-year-old Zaila Avant-garde winning the 2021 Scripps National Spelling Bee. So let us add our congratulations to those already extended by Halle Berry, former president and first lady Barack and Michelle Obama and, of course, Bill Murray. But you might have heard this isn t her only accomplishment, just the latest. She already has three records in the Guinness Book of World Records for her basketball dribbling skills. We wanted to catch up with Zaila Avant-garde to talk about her success, and she is with us now. Zaila Avant-garde, welcome.
Who else was thrilled when Zaila Avant-garde won the 2021 Scripps National Spelling Bee?
I first learned about this remarkable 14-year-old girl when a brief clip of her victory appeared on my Twitter feed last weekend. There she was, joking about Bill Murrayâs possible connection to the challenging word âmurraya,â then, a few seconds later, leaping into the air, exuberant beyond containment. I donât think Iâve ever seen a smile that wide. I watched it over and over again.
I later learned that this Louisiana native is a bit of a nerd; she juggles. Sheâs also an accomplished athlete who plays on her schoolâs basketball team.
