South Eugene’s Yosuke Shibata runs on white noise

Yosuke Shibata, a junior at South Eugene High, finds his focus in the chaos—literally. During big races, he tunes out everything except a calming white noise in his head, a trick that’s helped him win the state 6A cross-country title and place 23rd at Nike Cross Nationals. Off the track, he’s just as passionate about hiking the Pacific Northwest, soaking up the rain and mountain air. Shibata’s coach sees huge potential, but what stands out most is how Yosuke leads by example and keeps running fun. How do you find your own ‘flow state’ when the pressure’s on? #Sports #SouthEugene #CrossCountry
