Scripps Company. Twelve-year-old George Abraham Thampy, from Saint Louis, Missouri won the competition by correctly spelling the word "demarche".[1][2][3] Thampy had taken third place in the prior year's bee, and fourth place in the 1998 bee.[3] He also took second place in the National Geography Bee a week before winning the Spelling Bee. Thampy was the second home-schooled student to ever win the Bee.[4] The first was Rebecca Sealfon at the 1997 bee.[5] Second place went to 12-year old Sean Conley of Newark, California who missed "apotropaic". He went on to win the next year's Bee. Third place went to 14-year old Allison Miller of Niskayuna, New York, who missed "venire".[4] There were 248 spellers this year. 138 spellers were eliminated in the first day of competition. The first place prize was $10,000, followed by $5000 for second, and $3000 for third place.[6] References1. ^{{Cite web |url=http://spellingbee.com/champions-and-their-winning-words |title=Champions and Their Winning Words |access-date=2015-02-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121117084950/http://www.spellingbee.com/champions-and-their-winning-words#60s |archive-date=2012-11-17 |dead-url=yes |df= }} {{Scripps National Spelling Bee}}{{WashingtonDC-stub}}2. ^ 3. ^1 (2 June 2000).
