The Tokyo Six University Meet took place Apr. 2 at Tokyo's National Stadium. In the men's 5000 m, Waseda University 3rd-year Haruto Ishizuka ran a PB 13:46.31 for the win. "The first half went out fast, so my time ended up being a lot faster than I expected," he said post-race.

2023 has been good for Waseda so far. In January the team placed 6th at the Hakone Ekiden, making the seeded bracket for next year's 100th running. In February 4th-year Koki Sato won the Nobeoka Nishi Nihon Marathon in his debut at the distance. In March 2nd-year Tomonori Yamaguchi won a race in Hong Kong. Ishizuka said his teammates' success gave him "good synergy." In late April he plans to race 10000 m, where, he said, "I'll be looking to run another big PB and go sub-28."
