Steinmühlen Rowers Succeed at the Youth Regatta on September 19–20, 2015, in Großauheim (Hanau)

Students from Steinmühle who row for RuS Steinmühle competed in the short-distance regatta for young rowers in Großauheim, South Hesse.

Of particular note is the victory of 12-year-old Kaija Feldmann (Class 7a) in the girls’ single sculls—in her very first race!

The 13-year-old boys’ four, consisting of Jonas Neirich (8a), Bennet Meier (9a), Karl Nagel (9c), and Dustin Brömer (8c), with coxswain Leon Vielhaben, took strong second and third-place finishes.

The 12- and 13-year-old boys also rowed and competed brilliantly in the four, with Moritz Mägerlein (7a), Luca Hahn (7a), Lasse Jacob (7a), Paul Weber (7a), and coxswain Kaija Feldmann (7a).

In his first single sculls race, Leon Sauer (10d) didn’t make it to the podium, but he proved himself to be a strong sculler against the established specialists.

Coach Martin Strohmenger expressed his great satisfaction: “The boys and girls already have well-developed rowing technique, and as they gain more experience, we’ll have the next generation of top rowers—if everyone stays this enthusiastic and committed.”
