Comment from KONDO Misaki
I was able to win the championship for the second time, following the Kanto Inter University Track & Field Championships . This year I am in better shape than last year, and I was able to give it my all. My goal is to participate in the FISU World University Games and do well, so I would like to do my best, taking inspiration from the performances of great athletes like Mr. KOGA Yuta and Mr. HAMANISHI Ryo , who are senior members of our Track & Field Club.
Thanks to a lot of support and assistance, I was able to achieve this result. Thank you very much.
The race was held in the heat of the day
