Job wird Landesmeister in Mittweida; erster Landesmeister nach 12 Jahren Historische Sommersaison der Leichtathleten - Postsportverein Dresden e.V. Das Jahr ging in der Hallensaison mit unserer ersten Teilnahme bei Deutschen Jugendmeisterschaften seit sieben Jahren schon überragend los. Die Sommersaison sollte ähnlich geschichtsträchtig werden. Eine erneute DM-Teilnahme gab es verletzungsbedingt nicht. Dafür eine durchbrochene Schallmauer, das Ende einer zwölfjährigen Durststrecke, ein großer Auftritt im hohen Norden und ein Karriereende. Die wohl größten Leistungen des Sommers zeigte Job. Ende April gab er in Hamburg sein Halbmarathondebüt. Nach starken 70:17min überquerte er unter großem Applaus als Zweiter die Ziellinie. Damit durfte er zur Siegerehrung auf die ganz große Bühne. Für Job ein einmaliges Erlebnis und auch für seinen Trainer ein besonderer Moment in der Heimatstadt einen seiner Läufer auf dem Podest zu sehen. Mindestens so grandios war Jobs Auftritt bei den Landesmeisterschaften in Mittweida. Über 800m der Männer steigerte er sein Bestzeit um fast eine Sekunde auf 1:52,86min. Das wäre mit deutschem Pass sogar die B-Norm für die deutschen Meisterschaften. Viel wichtiger aber: Job wurde unser erster Landesmeister bei den Männern unter freiem Himmel seit endlosen 12 Jahren! Drei Wochen später verteidigte er bei den Mitteldeutschen Meisterschaften in Haldensleben seinen Titel vom Vorjahr aus Zittau. ...
