Shonan Tech High swimmer Yamada wins 100m freestyle at Inter-High

Yamada Masahiro, a second-year student and member of the Shonan Technical University High School swim team, won the boys’ 100-meter freestyle at last month’s National High School Sports Festival swimming competition held in Shiga. Although he claimed the national title, Yamada described being Japan’s best as only a milestone and signaled his intention to keep improving. The report emphasizes his outlook that the victory is a step toward greater goals rather than an endpoint.
