Run & Fly Meeting 2025 – The Track Events

Here are my notes from the track events. Like in the field events section, I concentrate on the results of the senior athletes in the result tables and only mention specific results on the junior side in the text. The order of events is roughly chronological.

 

60m (Women)

Australian Sam Geddes won the women competition with a time of 7.32 sec. In a stunning A final, she beat Jolina Ernst (TV Wattenscheid) by just a hundredth of a second.

On the men’s side, three team competed, with one of the teams being a national Men Under 55 selection.

400m (Women)

The first individual senior races on the oval track were the 400m competitions. The result was determined by times races. The women’s competition on the two lap race was a close battle of Nele Renneberg (TV Herkenrath) and Dominique Veninga (Netherlands). The German was about a tenth of a second faster. A very remarkable result on the Under 18 girls side was by Nortje Dickebohm (Oldenburger TB, 60.28 sec), who beat second placed Amelie Langanke (TV Werne 03) by more than two seconds.

800m (Women)

The afternoon and evening at Dortmund (the meeting overall took from 10:00 to some 20:30) featured the long distances on the race track. The first competition was the 800m race. Again, there were timed heats, split by target time. The faster races came with pace makers. Olivia Gürth (Silvesterlauf Trier) was the fastest senior woman on the four lap race competition. Remarkably, the fastest race was by Laila Yahyaoui (Netherlands), who competed as a Under 20 athlete. She won her race in 2:06.00 min and was thus more than thirteen seconds quicker than the second-placed in her category. The Under 15 and Under 14 girls winners were Lynn Holtmann (LC Paderborn, 2:26.73 min) and Hannah Hins (U14, SC Hagen-Wildewiese, 2:24.34 min). The biggest smile, however, felt to have Anna Weltz (TV Herkenrath), who won the women’s B final race with a personal best of 2:08.34 min and thus improved her personal best.
