View Comments Rahele Megosha, a senior at Washington High School, won $20,000 Thursday night in the national Poetry Out Loud competition. "I'm still in shock; it hasn't really hit me yet," Megosha told the Argus Leader on Friday morning. "I wasn't expecting to win $20,000." Megosha was the best of nine student finalists from across the nation. She is also the first student poet from South Dakota to ever win the competition. "This has been such a crazy opportunity," she said. "I didn't expect any of this to happen. I had a week to prepare for (the preliminary competition), and everything has been such a journey ever since."
