For Lincoln, Janel Filbeck was the tournament champion in original
oratory. Also advancing to the final were Kelly Lohrenz, who
placed third in dramatic interpretation; Amy Schumacher, who placed
fourth in declamation; Lindsey Boerma, who placed fourth in humorous
interpretation; and Ruth Ohmart, who placed seventh in prose.
"We were ecstatic," said Ed Jodlowski, a coach for the team. "We
knew coming in that this tournament would be very tough for us, but
these kids exceeded our expectations. While only five team members
finaled, there were a number of kids close. This tournament was very
difficult to get to the final round, so, with a few more breaks, we
could have had more in the final."
The team competes next weekend at the Olympia Christmas Classic.
