              Lincoln advanced five events 
              to the finals, with Audrey Beach finishing third in oratory, Doug 
              Rohrer and Lindsey Boerma fourth in humorous duet acting; Kathryn 
              Muck fifth in dramatic interpretation, Rachel Kasa fifth in prose 
              reading, and Brady Gerdts and Brittany Feese in a tie for sixth in 
              dramatic duet acting. 
              Coach Ed Jodlowski said: "We 
              had a great weekend. While only five of our events placed, we had 
              a large number of kids who were a rank or two away from the final 
              round. Points were assigned based on preliminary scores, and our 
              sixth place finish was only four points from fifth place. The kids 
              worked hard this week and their hard work paid off." 
              The team will compete Saturday at the Olympia Christmas Classic.
