Shiojiri Breaks Steeplechase Meet Record - National University Track and Field Championships Day Four Highlights



Jakarta Asian Games men's 3000 m steeplechase bronze medalist, national champion and Rio Olympian Kazuya Shiojiri (Juntendo Univ.) ended his university track career with one of the better of his many great performances, breaking the National University Track and Field Championships meet record set by Moroccan Aziz Driouch in 1999 by 2 seconds to win in 8:31.98. As at the Asian Games he frontran the entire race, but where he was outkicked in Jakarta over the last lap this time he opened a lead of 13 seconds over runner-up Taisei Ogino (Kanagawa Univ.).

The home to Shiojiri's teammate in Rio and women's meet record holder Anju Takamizawa, Matsuyama University extended its domination of Japanese collegiate women's steeplechase, taking the top three spots in the final. 3rd-year Kako Okado took the national title in 10:02.04 just over 5 seconds off Takamizawa's record, with 1st year duo Manami Nishiyama and Moka Ouchi going 2-3.

Apart from the steeple, the women's 4x400 m final delivered the best action of the day, with Nittai University downing Ritsumeikan Universtiy by 0.1 to win in 3:39.39. 400 m national champ Julian Walsh powered the Toyo University men to the 4x400 m title.

Nagoya Asian Games Test Event Canceled After Insulation Falls From Venue Ceiling
