Nana Nagashima (2nd year, Faculty of Social Work Studies Department of Social Work Studies) of the Women's Ekiden Team has been selected as a member of the All-Japan University Team for the 2024 All-Japan University Women's Selection Ekiden Race (Fujiyama Women's Ekiden) to be held on Monday, December 30, 2024. Last year, the Women's Ekiden Team participated as a team, and Nagashima ran the longest section, Section 5, and placed 4th in that section.

This race is a 43.4km race across seven hilly sections at the foot of Mt. Fuji, connecting Fujinomiya City in Shizuoka Prefecture and Fuji City. Nagashima will compete against top athletes from around the country as a member of the All-Japan University Team (recommended by the training committee).

Comment from Nana Nagashima

I was selected to be part of the student team. I don't know if I'll be able to run on the day, but I'll compete with the name of my university on my back. And I'll try not to forget my disappointment and do my best to participate as a team again next year. Thank you for your support.
