Tokyo Tech Sailing Team qualifies for All Japan Intercollegiate Sailing Championships

When I was a first-year student, I had a vague idea that I wanted to compete in the All Japan Intercollegiate Sailing Championships. The following year, I saw my seniors achieve a brilliant fourth-place finish at that competition. In my third year at Tokyo Tech, I embraced the challenge and became a regular race participant, but I quickly realized how much effort was required. We didn’t even come close to making the all-Japan competition. After becoming captain, it has been tough to balance my practice and studies while aiming to compete in the All Japan Intercollegiate Sailing Championships, but I have tried my best. I think I have practiced with a greater sense of purpose than ever before. With the support and encouragement of many people, we were able to achieve our goal of competing in this upcoming competition. I would like to thank all those people who supported me. I will do my best to live up to your expectations.

I am very pleased to have achieved our goal of participating in the All Japan Intercollegiate Sailing Championships. This is the result of the relentless efforts of all the team members in our daily practice sessions. I would like to express my gratitude to Tokyo Tech, the sailing team alumni, and all those who have supported the activities of the team. We will continue to work together at the All Japan Intercollegiate Sailing Championships, and we look forward to your support. I look forward to demonstrating my abilities at this competition and working even harder in my future research activities.
