Torgelow talents: Why they leave the sports school behind!

The world of athletics is constantly characterized by young talents who draw attention to themselves with their commitment and passion for the sport. One such trio from Torgelow is currently causing a sensation: Malte Kietzmann, Alexander Mennicke and Florian Ulrich are members of the First Torgelow Athletics Club. These three friends train every day after school at the sports field at Torgelower Heidebad, where their coach Andre Möhl is waiting for them.

Unlike many of their peers who are considering a sports school in Neubrandenburg, these talents have decided to remain loyal to their home club. Kietzmann and Mennicke emphasize the benefits of training in a family environment. Personal support and closeness to family are crucial for her to survive in competitive sports. Coach Andre Möhl is not only athletic, but also a key figure who provides valuable support for the athletes both theoretically and practically.

Successes at the national championships

The dedication and hard work of the Torgelow Quartet have paid off. At the state athletics championships in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the athletes won a total of nine medals. Particularly noteworthy is Alexander Mennicke, who won the national championship title in the high jump in the U-18 category with a height of 1.70 meters. Malte Kietzmann followed closely behind at 1.65 meters. Florian Ulrich was also able to make a name for himself by setting a new national record of 5.42 meters in the long jump in the M-12 category and thus also winning the title. Her coach, Andre Möhl, received two bronze medals in the high jump and long jump in the men's class for his achievements.

These successes not only show the talent of the athletes, but also the importance of club structures in top-class sport. Coaches and athletes work closely together to reach full potential. The successes in Torgelow are also in the context of the best performances in German athletics, which are continuously recorded in leaderboards. These lists show performances in different age groups, including youth categories such as U20, U18 and U16, as well as for seniors in the different age groups.

A look at the leaderboards

According to the data from Leaderboard, athletes have the opportunity to compare themselves with other athletes and contribute their achievements to the rankings. The automated recording of results at events carried out with TAF3 or COSA WIN promotes transparency and accessibility of sporting successes. These results are important not only for athletes, but also for coaches and clubs interested in supporting talented athletes and optimizing their performance.

Overall, the story of the athletes from Torgelow remains an inspiring example of the close community and family cohesion in sport. In times when many young talents are faced with the choice of professionalizing their careers and breaking away from their roots, Kietzmann, Mennicke and Ulrich show that loyalty and personal support are also important factors for success. It will be exciting to see how these athletes develop in the future.
