text:
The 53rd Scripps National Spelling Bee was held in Washington, D.C. at the Capital Hilton on May 28–29, 1980, sponsored by the E.W. Scripps Company. The winner was 14-year-old Jacques Bailly of Denver, Colorado, an eighth-grader at St. Vincent de Paul School, winning on the word "elucubrate". In 1979, Bailly had missed out on a spot in the National Bee when he lost a regional competition to Katie Kerwin, who went on to win that year. Second place went to Paige Pipkin, age 12, from El Paso, Texas
