(Cass County, ND) -- A Cass County student is the winner of this year's North Dakota State Spelling Bee.

Luna Gasevic topped all spellers at Monday's bee.

Nearly 100 students from 48 counties competed, with 26 making it to the final oral round.

Gasevic will go on to Washington D.C. to take part in the National Spelling Bee at the end of May.

Fellow Cass County student Chinmay Gopi took second place. The two fell into the same positions at last year's bee.
