10 Meet Records and a National Record at Hyogo Relay Carnival


The grand prix distance events were absent from the program this year at the 73rd Hyogo Relay Carnival, with the top performances in the women's 5000 m and men's 10000 m Asics Challenge races going to steepler Yuzu Nishide (Daihatsu) in 15:49.48 and Japan-based Kenyan Emmanuel Kiplagat (Mitsubishi Juko) in 28:12.42. But there were a lot of new meet records, and one national record.
  • Ryosuke Kusumi (Shiga) set a T37-class NR of 58.35 m in the para men's 400 m.
  • Kairi Ikeno (Suma Gakuen H.S.) came less than 2 seconds short of a new high school record in the women's 2000 m, beating her own MR from last year by over 3 seconds in 5:55.36, almost 17 seconds ahead of 2nd place.
  • The top 5 all broke or tied the men's high jump meet record, with both Yuto Seko (FAAS) and Tomohiro Shinno (Kyudenko) clearing 2.25 m and Takashi Eto (Kobe Digital Labo), Chao-Hsuan Fu (Taiwan) and Naoto Hasegawa (Niigata Albirex RC) clearing 2.20 m.
  • Yuki Hashioka (Fujitsu) won the men's long jump with an 8.10 (+1.7) MR, the only athlete over 7.90 m.
  • Misaki Morota (At Home) broke the women's pole vault MR, clearing 4.35 m on her 2nd attempt.
  • Hitoshi Okumura (Senko) missed his own men's shot put NR by just 1 cm, throwing a MR 19.08 m for the win.
  • Rino Kato (Mukogawa Joshi Univ.) and Riko Nishimura (Mitsubishi Denki) both broke Kato's MR in the women's javelin throw, Kato winning in 52.99 m and Nishimura 2nd at 51.78 m.
  • The MR went in the men's javelin throw too, Hayato Yamada (Hiyoshi) breaking the 25-year old record with a 78.35 m throw for the win.
  • Another double record came in the women's discus throw, both Nanaka Kori (Niigata Albirex RC) and Maki Saito (Taihei Dengyo) breaking Saito's MR and Kori getting the win with a 5th-round 58.81 m throw to Saito's 57.65 m closer.
  • The Takigawa Daini H.S. girls broke the high school 4x100 m MR in 46.31, with 2nd-place Sonoda H.S. also under the only record in 46.37.
