Yuto Oshio (3rd year in the School of Political Science and Economics)
I would like to thank the many people who have supported me to this point. Winning a general competition and not only a competition for students was a very special for me and has given me confidence. I will continue to devote myself to further improving my competitiveness as I have more big competitions ahead.
Head Coach: Kyohei Tsuba
It is said that it is difficult for students to win in the three-position event at the All Japan Championship, at which athletes from company teams and the Japan Self-Defense Forces Physical Training School also compete. Thus, I have nothing but admiration for Oshio who continued his winning streak at the All Japan University Sports Shooting Championship. I think this is the result of his dedication to competition. I look forward to his further success in the future.
