The 68th National High School Track and Field Championships kick off today in Wakayama. All four Japanese medalists from this month's World Youth Championships, girls' javelin gold medalist Haruka Kitaguchi (Hokkaido Asahikawa Higashi H.S.), boys' 100 m and 200 m championships record-setting double gold medalist Abdul Hakim Sani Brown (Josai Prep H.S.) and boys' 400 m hurdles silver and bronze medalists Ryusei Fujii (Kokura Kogyo H.S.) and Masaki Toyoda (Rakunan H.S.), are on the entry lists along with 2014 Youth Olympics girls' 3000 m gold medalist Nozomi Musembi Takamatsu (Kunei Joshi Gakuin H.S.), boys' 10000 m race walk gold medalist Minoru Onogawa (Tokyo Jitsugyo H.S.) and boys' 100 m silver medalist Kenta Oshima (Tokyo H.S.).
Most eyes will be on Sani Brown, who is set to run at the Beijing World Championships next month aged just 16, but with just 0.10 separating their bests last year's 100 m national H.S. champion Oshima should give him a run for it. The girls' 3000 m looks like another of this year's highlights, with Takamatsu, the star of 2014 National High School Girls Ekiden champion Kunei Joshi Gakuin leading three athletes with bests under 9:10. Her younger sister Tomomi Musembi Takamatsu will also make her high school debut in the 3000 m seeded 6th at 9:13.35. Likewise for the boys' 5000 m, featuring 2014 National High School Boys Ekiden champion Sera's superstar Paul Kamais dominating the field after running 13:2152 this spring but 16-year-old Hyuga Endo (Gakuho Ishikawa H.S.) giving some hope of a Japanese athlete making the podium thanks to his 13:50.51 PB earlier this month. Fresh back from World Youth's, Endo's teammate Kazuyoshi Tamogami leads four Japanese runners with sub-3:50 bests in an unusually deep boys' 1500 m, his 3:47.63 PB from the beginning of the month putting him just 0.06 seconds ahead of Kazuki Kawamura (Ogaki Nihon Prep H.S.).
