YUKI KOIKE

In elementary and junior high school, I played baseball, and I began to do athletics in high school. At my first high school athletics meet, I finished second, but I found athletics fun, because what matters in the sport is not only winning or losing but also your time.

How far can I go? I run solely due to my curiosity to know the answer to this question. Now that I’ve narrowed my focus to athletics, I’ll continue to explore how far I can go in Japan and in my life, and what I can do if I fully demonstrate my capabilities. Actually, this exploration is my motivation.

I’ll do everything I can and then simply wait for the result.
