Kiplagat 27:07.59 MR to Win Deepest-Ever 10000 m in Hachioji


2019 African U18 3000 m champ Emmanuel Kiplagat (Mitsubishi Juko) led a 3-way sprint finish to break the meet record at the Hachioji Long Distance meet at Kanagawa's Gion Stadium Saturday, going under the 2023 Budapest World Championships standard for the first time in 27:07.59. 2nd-placer Benson Kiplangat (Subaru) also cleared the 27:10.00 Worlds standard in 27:09.83, 3rd-placer Samwel Masai (Kao) just missing in 27:10.06.

With the WaveLight pacing system making its Japanese debut the Hachioji A-heat produced the deepest-ever 10000 m. The first 24 finishers cleared 28 minutes, breaking the previous world record of 21 set at last year's Hachioji meet. 12th-placer Takuya Hanyu (Toyota Boshoku) ran 27:27.49 to come in at all-time Japanese #4 and knock former NR holder Toshinari Takaoka out of the all-time top 10.

Led by Takashi Nanba (Toenec) in 27:48.27, another 10 men were sub-28 in the B-heat including 2:06:35 marathoner Kyohei Hosoya (Kurosaki Harima), 9th in a PB 27:54.83. C-heat winner Yeneblo Biyazen (Hiramatsu Byoin) just missed with a 28:02.08, and D-heat winner Naoki Ota (Yakult) wasn't far off either at 28:06.12. 

Along with the total 34 men sub-28, a total of 116 men broke 29 minutes at the meet. Combined with the 23 who ran sub-29 the night before on the same track at the MARCH college meet, where defending Hakone Ekiden champ Aoyama Gakuin University put 13 people under 29, it was one of the deepest 24 hours in Japanese history.
