Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø Auto Race Team Wins 7-Univ. with Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø Clinching the Overall Championship!
Date of activity: September 12, 2016 - September 14, 2016
An auto race competition was held as part of the Seven Universities Athletic Meet (7-Univ.) at the Honjo Circuit (Honjo, Saitama Prefecture) and Maruwa Autoland Nasu (Nasu-shiobara, Tochigi Prefecture) on September 12 and 14, 2016, respectively.
The Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø Auto Race team won this 7-Univ. competition.
<Comment from the captain of Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø Auto Race Team>
"This year, 7-Univ. is hosted by Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø, so I found it difficult to focus on winning the competition because we had to juggle the management of the athletic meet with the auto competition. However, we were able to win the competition convincingly, seeing victory in many classes. We were able to win by bringing all our forces together."
As a result, 10 points given for the auto race competition have been awarded to Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø. Having more than 10-point lead over second place, Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø clinched the overall championship before the last competition, gymnastics. This is the 11th overall championship won by Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø and the first time in four years.
The closing ceremony will be held on September 24, 2016, at the Graduate School of Economics on the Hongo Campus.
Let's look forward to bringing the pennant and trophy back to Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø!
Now, the 55th 7-Univ. hosted by Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø has only the gymnastics competition remaining. Let's cheer for Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø until the very end!
