Siddharth Krishnakumar, a fifth grader from McNair Elementary School in Herndon, will compete in the Virginia state finals of the National Geographic Bee on April 4 at Longwood University in Farmville. Krishnakumar joins the other 100 finalists among Virginia’s fourth- to eighth-grade students who won their school-level geography bee championships, which qualified them to take a written geography exam to select the state finalists. The winner of the state finals will advance to the national competition, which will be held on May 19-21 at the National Geographic Society headquarters in Washington, D.C.
