Spring Run: Konrad Was the Fastest
Last year, the sun had brought hot temperatures, but at this year’s spring run, the fifth- and sixth-graders had to make do with temperatures around 12 degrees Celsius. This did not detract from the traditional run around the boathouse. At the end of the day, fifth-grader Konrad Rothmann emerged as the fastest participant of the day.
With a tradition dating back more than 10 years, the Spring Run has a firm place on the school’s sports calendar. The goal for students in grades 5 and 6 is to complete the 1,300-meter loop around the boathouse in the shortest time possible.
The race is organized by grade level, with girls and boys running separately. The event concludes with a relay race. In the relay, all 5th-grade classes compete against each other, followed by all 6th-grade classes.
“The help from our colleagues is a vital source of support in organizing the event,” emphasized school sports director Michael Neirich. He also praised the dedication of the students in the 11e sports track: “All of this together ensured that everything ran smoothly.” He also noted the great enthusiasm and willingness of the participating students to compete, even in cool weather, and added: “It’s wonderful that our school has the boathouse grounds, which provide an ideal location for a running event like this.”
