National High School Ekiden (December 22, 2024, starting and ending at Takebishi Stadium Kyoto, men's 7 sections 42.195 km, women's 5 sections 21.0975 km) Rin Kubo (2nd year student at Higashiosaka Daikeiai High School), the holder of the Japanese record in the women's 800 meters, appeared in the 2nd section (4.0975 km). After receiving the sash from Yuto Hasegawa (1st year) in the 1st section in 21st place, she overtook 16 people to move up to 5th place and passed on to the 3rd section. This is her first time at the Tokyo Metropolitan Inter-High School. Last year, her first appearance as Higashiosaka Daikeiai High School, she placed 35th. Kubo was forced to miss the event due to an appendicitis that occurred before the tournament. "It's not an injury, so there's nothing I can do about it, but I'm disappointed that I couldn't participate. I want to clear up the disappointment from last year," she said, hoping for revenge.
