WSU shines at NRW championships: silver and club records!
Last weekend, the NRW short course championships, which many swimming enthusiasts had hoped for, took place in the swimming opera in Wuppertal. With almost 800 athletes, the event was a true highlight that brought together the best talent in the state. Particularly noteworthy is the Warendorfer Swimming Union (WSU), which not only set eight new club records but also went home with a silver medal. That reports derspoekenkieker.de.
A look at the outstanding performances of the WSU athletes shows that the young talent attracted a lot of attention. Moritz Warnecke, born in 2011, competed in the 200m backstroke and achieved a respectable time of 2:35.97 minutes. Equally impressive was the young Theresa Bellmann (born 2011), who set her personal best in the 50m freestyle to 29.08 seconds and also excelled in the backstroke and butterfly.
Athletes' records and successes
Paul Weißen, born in 2010, set a club record in the 100m backstroke on Saturday - he swam the distance in 59.50 seconds. He got serious on Sunday with a time of 2:09.52 minutes in the 200m backstroke and qualified for the open final, where he improved to 2:08.38 minutes. In the open class from all over North Rhine-Westphalia, Weißen took sixth place at the age of 15.
Another highlight was David Maßmann (born 2004), who not only broke the club record in the 50, 100 and 200m breaststroke, but also increased his personal best time in the 50m breaststroke to 28.76 seconds in the shortest possible time, which earned him the silver medal. He also qualified for the German Short Course Championships.
Swimming culture in North Rhine-Westphalia
NRW not only has a proud swimming tradition, but is also the most populous federal state in Germany with more than 18 million inhabitants.
