The only record on the track came in the girls' 100 m hurdles, where Ayumi Kobayashi (Funabashi H.S.) broke the high school national record with a mark of 13.34 (-0.3 m/s), bettering the 2007-era record by 0.05 seconds. The other new national record was in the boys' discus throw, where Kosei Yamashita (Gifu Shogyo H.S.) threw 58.02 m to surpass the previous record by almost a meter and a half.
The only record on the boys' side was a meet record 65.98 m Yuki Taneichi (Hirosaki Jitsugyo H.S.) in the hammer throw, less than a meter and a half off the high school national record. 2nd-placer Daisuke Kumon (Imabari Meitoku) was also under the old meet record, just 10 cm off Taneichi's mark at 65.88 m Meet records were tied or broken in four girls' field events including the hammer throw, where a 54.60 m throw by Momoko Watanabe (Tsuruga H.S.) led the top three under the old meet record.
In distance events, the lone noteworthy mark came in the girls' 3000 m where 18-year-old Marta Mokaya (Oita Tomei H.S.) ran a quick 8:51.41 PB on the final day of the championships to win the national title. Her fellow Kenyan teammate Benuel Mogeni did the double in the boys' distance events, winning the 1500 m in 3:47.65 and the 5000 m in 14:05.49.
