2018 European Championships bronze medallist, Thomas Barr, has secured his place in tomorrow’s semi-final of the 400m hurdles with a superbly judged 49.49 performance to take first place in the second of the 400mH heats.

The Ferrybank AC athlete exited the World Championships at the semi-final stage last month and has made no secret of his desire to make this week’s final on the back of a great 3-week training block.

Barr will return to the track tomorrow morning for the semi-finals which start at 10.25am Irish time.

The Waterford star was the only Irish athlete in action during this morning’s session with Commonwealth Games silver medallist Kate O'Connor unfortunately having to withdraw from the heptathlon competition due to injury.
