German school athletics teams achieve regional and national success

Students from the Elisabeth-von-Thüringen-Realschule secured first place in the U16 Mixed athletics competition at the “Jugend trainiert für Olympia” regional sports festival in Euskirchen. The team earned 6,273 points across various disciplines, including shot put, high jump, and a 4 × 75-meter mixed relay. Despite a technical error during the awards ceremony that initially delayed their recognition, the team was later officially honored by school leadership.

Additionally, athletics teams from the Werner Heisenberg Gymnasium competed in the national finals in Berlin. The U18 boys and U16 mixed teams participated in the event, with notable individual performances including a personal best in the long jump by Melander Wittmann and a 2:04 800-meter run by Aiven Wolf. The mixed team finished in 13th place and the boys' team in 14th place among a highly competitive field.
