【Daily Record】Long-Distance Running Records Event ② — Drawing Strength from Encouragement —

At the opening ceremony for the 4th–6th grade students, the GM addressed the students, saying,
“The weather is perfect for today’s event. I hope you run without giving up so that you can truly say you gave it your all when you finish. Do your best so this record meet becomes something that will have a positive impact on your school life starting tomorrow.”

The student representatives then shared their goals:
“I want to save my energy at the beginning and run full speed at the end,” and
“I want to keep running without giving up.”

First up were 4th grade! They had to run two laps around the outer course, making the distance even longer.

Here’s the English translation for your passage:

Encouraged by the cheers from those around them, some students could be seen sprinting full speed as they approached the finish line. Even in the midst of the challenge, they pushed past their limits and never gave up until the very end.

Next up were 5th grade! They ran desperately, trying to keep up with the teacher leading the pack.

If you like, I can continue translating the rest of 6th grades section in the same style.

Finally, 6th grade and the Kusunoki class started. The distance was 2 kilometers. Each student ran at their own pace and finished strong. Even after finishing, the children joined in by running alongside others or cheering out names—making for a very lively atmosphere!

At the closing ceremony, the review stated, “Did everyone give their best? Congratulations to all for achieving their personal bests! The serious expressions at the start, the satisfied faces at the finish, and the way everyone cheered for each other made us all very happy. It was wonderful to see everyone supporting their friends.”

Everyone achieved their personal bests! They gave each other a round of applause. Thanks to the support from the kindergarten children, teachers, parents, and friends, the students were able to push themselves further than ever. This endurance run truly showed the power of cheering for one another. We hope that in the days ahead, everyone continues to support each other and grow together.
