MTV Aurich: Hannes Brinkmann and Amke Bolten conquer Northern Germany!

The North German Championships in the U18 age group were held in Hamburg last weekend, and the MTV Aurich athletics duo shone impressively. Hannes Brinkmann and Amke Bolten delivered outstanding performances and each set new personal bests.

Hannes Brinkmann in particular caused excitement in the long jump. After two invalid initial attempts, things initially looked bleak for his title dreams. But Brinkmann knew how to tame his nerves and set his first mark in the last jump with 6.39 meters. In the final battle he finally achieved the big success: with a best performance of 6.83 meters, the athlete catapulted himself into the top position and secured the title. He clearly surpassed Bennett Nelke (6.59 meters) and Hugo Hanns Rieken (6.40 meters).

Strong results for Amke Bolten

Amke Bolten also showed her class. Over 400 meters she won silver place behind Nicola Kröger from LG Braunschweig with an excellent time of 57.23 seconds. Her quick finish helped her leave two competitors behind and confirmed her strong form. She had previously qualified in the A final of the 200 meters, where she also set a personal best of 25.63 seconds, but forgot the final.

Another face of MTV Aurich, Renke Dirksen, competed in the men's discus throwing competition. With a throw of 36.94 meters, he unfortunately missed out on making it to the final and ended up in tenth place. This showed that the competition is not only characterized by successes, but also by challenges.

Looking ahead

The two athletes from MTV Aurich are now looking optimistically into the future. Brinkmann is preparing for the German Decathlon Championships at the end of August, while Bolten has already set her sights on her next appearances at sports festivals in Minden and Oldenburg. Participation in the North German Athletics Championships was not only a great opportunity to measure yourself against the competition, but also a step towards further personal success.
