Katie Kerwin McCrimmon

Katie Kerwin McCrimmon (born in 1965 in Denver, Colorado) is a reporter/analyst for ESPN. She won the 1979 National Spelling Bee representing the "Rocky Mountain News".

McCrimmon's spelling bee win won her a full scholarship to Colorado College, where she graduated with a degree in journalism in 1987. After college, she began to work for the "Rocky Mountain News" and served as their Washington, D.C. correspondent until 1996. In the early 1990s, CNN began broadcasting the National Spelling Bee and invited her to be a commentator. ESPN2 began broadcasting the contest in 1994, and McCrimmon became their commentator and still is today.

Today, she still works as a staff writer/reporter for the "Rocky Mountain News" and continues to do commentary on ESPN2's telecasts of the National Spelling Bee. She made a cameo appearance in the 2006 film "Akeelah and the Bee".
