The men’s team consists of best of the young generation - Yuki Sato, national high school 10,000m record holder,
Hidekazu Sato, national high school 5000m record holder and Satoru Kitamura, 2006 national collegiate 10,000m champion.
Hidekazu has trained briefly with Kenyans in Kenya, so he ought to know how to run with Africans.
Yuki is generally considered to be the best collegiate distance runner in Japan.
Makoto Tobimatsu, although his 10,000m best (28:32.45) is modest,
has been running extremely well in cross country this year.
He was the first Japanese in both Chiba and Fukuoka XC.
Tobimatsu, whose best finish in the World Cross Country Championships so far was 67th,
is shooting to be in the top 30.
