16-Year-Old Sato Runs 8:00.09 U18 NR in Kyoto – Brett Larner – Japan Running News

By GRR 0

Already Japan’s third-fastest high schooler ever over 3000 m, 16-year-old Keita Sato (Rakunan H.S.) took another 5 seconds off his best with a 8:00.09 win at Saturday’s Kyoto Time Trials meet

3000m→8’00″09 7分台まであと一歩だったのでめちゃくちゃ悔しいです

次はいつ走れるか分かりませんが絶対に7分台出し

.A second-year at Rakunan and set to turn 17 later this week, Sato bettered the U18 national record held by Hyuga Endo by almost two seconds, moved up to #2 behind Endo on the all-time high school rankings, and to #3 on the U20 list behind Endo and Athens Olympian Ryuji Ono. Post-race he tweeted, „One step away from 7 minutes!

So disappointing. I don’t know when the next time I can race is but 7 minutes is definitely coming!“
