WASHINGTON — An eighth-grader from Florida won the National Geographic Bee on Wednesday with the help of a question about Caribbean neighbor Haiti.
Aadith Moorthy, 13, of Palm Harbor, Fla., came out on top as 10 boys faced off in a battle of world knowledge. He wins a $25,000 college scholarship and a trip to the Galapagos Islands.
The final question asked for the largest city in northern Haiti, which was renamed following Haiti’s independence from France. The answer was Cap-Haitien. Aadith had it and gave a small fist pump.
“I feel great,” Aadith said with a big smile shortly after. “The mission is accomplished.”
