            DOWNERS GROVE -- The Lincoln Community High 
			School speech team placed two events in the semifinals at the 
			prestigious Downers Grove Tournament this past weekend. Tony Curcuru 
			and Annie Sheley advanced to the semifinal in humorous duet. Janel 
			Filbeck advanced to the semifinal in oratory and then to the final, 
			where she placed third. | 
        
            | "This tournament is always a tough one, and we really didn't get any 
			breaks," said Carrie Schreiber, a coach for the Lincoln team. "We 
			had hoped for more in the semifinals and had about six additional 
			events that, had they gotten the breaks, would have been there. We 
			are happy for the two events that advanced." This weekend Lincoln 
			will host its annual tournament, which is the last regular meet of 
			the year before the team enters the state series the following week.
