Matsuyama Gakuin team sprint member comment
Yuto Matsuoka
“The course was wet, so it wasn’t as easy as qualifying, but I don’t think it was a bad time. We still have the finals left, but I want to do what I can do step by step.”
Shunta Kawakami
“When I finished the qualifying round, I didn’t think I had set a new record.
Kazuki Nakamura
“I never thought I would be able to improve my practice record by more than one second in the qualifying session for the Inter-High. Tomorrow I will be participating in the 1km time trial, so I hope I can give back to my friends, family, coaches and teachers who have supported me until now. I definitely want to win
