On the 29th, the Kanto Athletics Student Federation announced the section entry for the 97th Ekiden University back and forth in Tokyo Hakone on January 2-3 next year.

Seigaku University has appointed Naoto Takeishi (4th grade), a “5th grader” who dares to choose a repeating year and challenge Hakone again in the 5th district. Ace Yoshida Keita (fourth year) is registered in the first room. The captain, Yuta Kamibayashi (fourth year), and the long-awaited freshman, Issei Sato, both become vacant and are likely to change that day.

Seigaku University ranked fourth at the All Japan University Ekiden in November. In Hakone Ekiden, which has won 5 victories in the last 6 years, “Kizuna Daisakusen” is established. Director Shin Hara says, “It’s turning into a winning atmosphere. I want to actively compete from the exit route.”

As of this tournament, the replacement by substitutes of the conventional 4 to 6 people has been accepted. As a result, the maximum number of people that can be changed each day for round trips is four.
