I'm such a nerd that I looked her up. She is 1997 champ Rebecca Sealfon from New York, NY. Click here to see her in action.

That girl actually went to high school with me, she was a year or two younger than me. She is really that socially awkward in person -- it wasn't just her being excited about the spelling bee. I know she was homeschooled until hs so maybe her parents didn't focus on the socializing aspect of her education. But she's really smart though, I think she graduated 2nd or 3rd in her class at our super competitive hs and ended up going to Princeton.
