2023 Socorro County Spelling Bee Winners Crowned

Socorro Electric is proud to be able to award the winners of the annual Socorro County Spelling Bee. This year’s event was held at Parkview Elementary on January 25.

The Bee lasted 29 rounds, and winners battled to the very end. Abigail Cadol, a seventh grader from Cottonwood Valley, came away with the win with the word “porcelain.”

Second-place finisher Aliyah Baca, a fifth grader from San Antonio Elementary and last year’s county spelling bee champion, battled back and forth with

Abigail and was ahead at one point when Abigail came back. Sharidyn Cosentino, an eighth grader from Magdalena Middle School came in third and correctly spelled progressively more difficult words throughout the competition.

Socorro County, we have some amazing spellers! Good luck to Abigail at the state spelling bee.

First-place winner Abigail won $100, second-place winner Aliyah won $75, and third place winner Sharidyn took home a $50 award. These funds come from
