Within the D1 girls’s 5000 m, 2nd-year Sarah Wanjiru (Daito Bunka Univ.) scored a double title after breaking the 10000 m MR, successful in 15:44.85 by 5 seconds over Risa Yamazaki (Nittai Univ.). Third-year Victor Kimutai (Josai Univ.) took the D1 males’s 5000 m title in 13:37.62, simply over a second up on 2nd-year Shadrack Kipkemoi (Nihon Univ.). Aided partly by the DQ of 1st-year Brian Kiptoo (Reitaku Univ.) for interfering with one other athlete, 4th-year Masaya Tsurukawa (Aoyama Gakuin Univ.) was the one Japanese athlete to attain a protracted distance win, beating 1st-year Duncan Maina (Senshu Univ.) to the road by 1 second to win the D2 males’s 5000 m in 13:36.41. AGU star 1st-year Sota Orita was a DNS.
Japanese athletes additionally took all three 3000 mSC races. Third-year Mayu Kawase (Daito Bunka Univ.) received the D1 girls’s race in 10:11.26, retaining the steeple title at conventional powerhouse DBU. Third-year Yuki Murao (Juntendo Univ.) received the D1 males’s title in 8:40.43, like Tsurukawa helped out by an interference DQ for 2nd-year Boniface Mutech (Ryutsu Keizai Univ.). The D2 title went to Third-year Hinata Kuroki (Soka Univ.) in a PB 8:41.21 in a tricky race the place 9 out of the highest 10 ran PBs.
In general staff scoring throughout the 4 days of the meet, Nittai College took the D1 girls’s title with 142 factors, Tsukuba College shut behind with 130 for 2nd and Chuo College a distant Third with 61. The Tsukuba girls did take the D2 title, the division for grad college applications, with 22 factors.
