Sebastian Hallmann going to Cross World Championships 2009

March 15, 2009

Sebastian Hallmann (LG Stadtwerke München) will represent the German colours at the World Cross Country Championships in Amman/Jordan (28.3). The decision was made by German distance head coach Detlef Uhlemann after the German Cross Country Championships in Ingolstadt.

Even with the big aim of the World Championships 2009 in Berlin at hand, Germany wants to be present in the other global events.

Sebastian Hallmann showed several strong performances in cross-country and took 2nd place at the German Championships 09 at the long distance race. Hallmann will be the only German participant in Amman. Eventual men’s long distance race winner Arne Gabius as well as the fastest women Sabrina Mockenhaupt and Susanne Hahn never even entered the equation because of the upcoming preparation for the home World Championships.
