Strong Results at Ski Competitions Before Studying Abroad — Juri Nakata Delivers Impressive Performances

Juri Nakata, a first-year high school student at our school who competes in alpine skiing (individual events), participated in an intensive ski training camp held from December 29 to January 7. Following the camp, she achieved excellent results in several competitions held from late December through early January.

In particular, she placed highly at the 78th Kyoto High School Ski Championships held on January 5–6, where she also delivered strong performances in the Inter-High School Championships qualifiers. Despite preparing for an upcoming study abroad program, her consistent efforts resulted in outstanding achievements.

Although Nakata qualified for the Inter-High School Championships through competition ②, she is enrolled in the school’s IM Course, which includes approximately one year of overseas study. As she is scheduled to depart for New Zealand on January 20, she has decided to forgo participation in this year’s Inter-High School Championships.

She will focus on her studies abroad for the coming year and is expected to return to Japan in December. We look forward to her continued growth and future success, and sincerely appreciate your warm support.
