- He took second in the 400m final in 3:44.59 after lowering the German 19-year-old mark in the prelims to 3:46.84.

- The 19-year-old has surged since moving to SC Magdeburg to train under Bernd Berkhahn alongside stars Lukas Märtens, Florian Wellbrock and Oliver Klemet, all while sitting his Abitur exams.
