Rika Kaseda (Daihatsu), Ayuko Suzuki (Japan Post) and Hikari Onishi (Japan Post) qualified for next year's MGC Race women's Olympic marathon trials at Sunday's Berlin Marathon. Kaseda's 2:21:55 PB for 7th was the fastest by a Japanese woman in Berlin since Mizuki Noguchi's 2:19:12 NR there in 2005.

On the men's side, Tatsuya Maruyama (Toyota) and Rintaro Takeda (Yakult) hit MGC qualification. Already qualified, top Japanese man Kenya Sonota (JR Higashi Nihon) ran 2:07:14 for 7th, the fastest Japanese time in Berlin since Takayuki Inubushi's then-NR 2:06:57 in 1999.

It was an incredible day for the Japanese runners. All 4 achieved PBs with the dark horse and complete surprise packet being Rika Kaseda! Simply amazing achievements from Rika Kaseda, Ayuko Suzuki, Sayaka Sato and Hikari Onishi. I was following them on the Berlin Marathon live timing/tracker site and I was glad they all held it together till the very end with only a very minor drop in pace. The depth of the Japanese women is growing and it bodes well for a marvelous MGC race next year.
