GUYANA’s Aliyah Abrams will compete in today’s Women’s 400 metres semi-finals in Qatar, as the IAAF World Championships in Athletics continue in Doha, Qatar.

Abrams, competing in Heat 4 of six, clocked 51.73 seconds to finish fourth behind winner, Galefele Moroko, of Botswana (50.59 seconds), Jamaica’s Stephanie-Ann McPherson (51.21 seconds) and Nigeria’s Favour Ofili (51.51 second).

Abrams’ PB in the 400m is 51.13 seconds; Aliann Pompey is Guyana’s National Record Holder in the women’s 400m. Pompey’s time of 50.71 seconds was set at the 2009 IAAF World Championship in Germany.

 With both Emanuel Archibald (long Jump) and Quamel Prince (men’s 800 metres) failing to make it to the qualifying stage of their respective event, all eyes will now be fixed on Abrams who will attempt to hand Guyana that elusive World Championship medal.
