Few Surprises on Day One of German Trials

BERLIN, June 4. JANINE Pietsch and Helga Meeuw provided the two surprises on the first day of the German Nationals and Olympic Trials in Berlin.

Pietsch, a 22 year-old from the Delphin Ingolstadt Swim Club upset Antje Buschschulte in the 100m back, 1:01.38 to 1:01.43. Meeuw, 19, of Wiesbaden, took advantage of a faltering Rupprath, who had taken his 200m butterfly race out too hard (55.24), passing the veteran off the final wall and defeating him soundly, 1:56.99 to 1:58.20

Otherwise, it was business as usual, with favored veterans winning as expected.

Sandra Volker, 30, won the 50 free in 25.32 with 20 year-old Dorothea Brandt a close second at 25.40.

Nicole Hetzer took the 400IM in a strong 4:42.74, with 17 year-old newcomer, Teresa Rohmann, second in 4:44.96.

Hannah Stockbauer, Swimming World's Female Swimmer of the Year for 2003, won the 400m free as she pleased in 4:09.71.

In the day's most exciting race, Christian Hein overtook Thomas Lurz at the 1300-meter mark, then held off Lurz's furious final 50 meter sprint, to take the 1500. Hein touched in 15:08.99 to Lurz's 15:10.33.

Dr. Mark Warnecke, who could be competing in Riccione at the Masters Championships demonstrated why he chose to swim in Berlin. The 34 year-old took the 50m breast handily in 27.91.

In the men's 50 back, Stev Theloke won in 25.43, 18-hundredths in front of Stefan Driessen.
