MTV Aurich shines: Bolten and Brinkmann reach the championship finals!

Sport is an exciting chapter in our lives, and the German Championships for the U18 age group in Bochum-Wattenscheid have once again shown what young talent can achieve. Amke Bolten and Hannes Brinkmann from MTV Aurich were two of these promising athletes who were able to prove themselves on the big stage. Both showed impressive performances and reached the finals in their disciplines, making them real hopefuls in athletics.

Amke Bolten competed over 400 meters and already shone in her preliminary run. With a personal best time of 57.26 seconds, she crossed the finish line in second place, securing her place in the final. She didn't let up in the final run either and took seventh place with a time of 57.47 seconds. Cäcilia Weimann from SC Potsdam secured the gold medal with an impressive time of 54.78 seconds.

Brinkmann's triple jump

But it wasn't just the sprint disciplines that were in demand. Hannes Brinkmann made a name for himself in the triple jump, where he achieved sixth place with 13.94 meters. After a solid third attempt, he managed to qualify for the final. His best performance is 14.15 meters, and the competition was strong, as the placings show: Justin Hopfensitz took third place with 14.31 meters, followed by Tarek Benze (14.37 meters) and Joel Yamah, who was also among the medalists with 14.60 meters. Brinkmann also qualified for the 110 meter hurdles, but had to give up in the preliminary run due to a stumble at the fifth hurdle.

Coaches and club representatives were pleased with the athletes' achievements. It is clearly noticeable that years of careful training pay off at MTV Aurich. Looking at the results gives hope that these talents will achieve much more in the future.
