DHM Orienteering 2013: Karlsruhe women's relay team wins!
In the individual championships, Karlsruhe's defending champion Luise Kärger was not able to prevail in the face of quantitatively and qualitatively much stronger competition compared to last year, but it was still enough for her and Janeta Turka from the HS Karlsruhe in an open and fast Thuringian forest (Ilmenau) for very good top-10 placements among 35 runners. In the men's race, Vincent Poinsignon from KIT achieved the best placing for Karlsruhe with 16th place out of 41.
In the cup classes, Daniel Winter (KIT) and Alexander Armbruster (DHBW) also achieved very good placements in cup A with 6th and 8th place out of 23, for Tamara Treptow it was enough for 2nd place out of 5 in cup B.
The biggest success for the Karlsruhe team was the following day at the relay championships. While almost all Karlsruhe relays were eliminated last year, the first Karlsruhe women's relay team with Janeta Turka, Lena Stortz and Luise Kärger won the German University Championships in the relay this year. The first men's relay team with Georg Hinkel, Felix Czink and Vincent Poinsignon finished 8th.
