YOKOHAMA (April 24-25) Fumitaka Morishita reclaimed his junior national title at 55kg in freestyle and was named the outstanding wrestler of the JOC Cup junior and cadet national championships.
Along with Morishita, three other members of the Nippon Sports Science University squad won individual titles in the school's return to the tourney. NSSU wrestlers, including Morishita, were forced out of last year's meet following the arrest and conviction of a teammate for sexual assault in 2009.
Morishita won his first title in 2009 as a student at Kasumigaura high school in Ibaraki and went on to win a silver medal at the Asian junior championships that year.
Meanwhile, Waseda University freshman Shori Maekawa defended his title at 120kg in greco-roman as he and two teammates won three titles at Yokohama Bunka Gymnasium.
Joining Maekawa as repeat winners were Waseda teammate Ko Osaka at 96kg in greco-roman and Nobuyuki Oka of Nihon University at 120kg in freestyle.
The JOC Cup meet also serves as a selection tourney for the Japanese men's team for the junior world championships. Selection for the women's national team was based on results from the Japan Queens Cup meet held April 2-3.
