Keyakizaka46 50-meter sprint times 2015 vs. 2016

The Keyakitte, Kakenai TV show has conducted mini track meets in autumn 2015 and autumn 2016. Some fine otaku has collated the 50-meter sprint results into this chart, which just appeared in Japanese on a K46 matome (news collection) site.

I know idols don't really have to be athletes, but I couldn't help wanting to translate the chart into English:

Berika, Nijika, Sugai and Nanako all improved their times significantly over the year. Neru wasn't yet a member last year, but she's fast: this year she came third. Most times were slower this year. I wonder why.

Like everyone else, I would like to see the members of Hiragana Keyaki in a track meet. In particular, I want to see if Memi's time of 7.5 seconds in her last high school testing was just a fluke, or if she really is that fast. She said in her Showtime sessions that she had improved by a full second from second year to third year, becoming second-fastest in her school, despite being in the art club and not doing any special athletic activities - except being drafted onto the relay team once a year.

In the chart, 位 means "place," as in "first place." It was just going to take more time than it deserved to change all those.
