3,000m - 10:53.88

Favorite Sports Memory:
- When my high school cross country team went to Hawaii to race with other high schools in HI. Although it wasn’t our best race, the heat and the hills on the course made our races back in Tokyo seem so much easier and prepared us for the championships that season. Not to mention, we were racing in Hawaii!

Favorite Moment as an MIT Student-Athlete:
- The first day of preseason, we had to extend the long table the team was eating at by 4 or 5 tables into a big “L” in the cafeteria which I thought was funny and showed our team unity and spirit
