#CHAMPS2018: 400m hurdles favourite Jeremy Farr out

Akino Ming, Staff Reporter

Class two 400m hurdles favourite, Wolmer's Boys' School’s Jeremy Farr,  is out of the event for this year after picking the start in the preliminary round this morning.

Farr, who was in lane three, jumped out of the block before the starter's gun sounded. 

The defending champion was immediately shown the red card. 

Malik James-King of Calabar High School went on to win the heat in 52.25 seconds.

The final scheduled for 7.25 p.m Friday is expected to ignite the National Stadium, as three of the main contenders have shown signs of dipping under 50 seconds. 

James-King, Rovane Williams of Rhodes Hall, Phillip Lemonious of Jamaica College, and Jauavney James of St Elizabeth Technical all qualified for the final.

Seven finals are down to be contested on day three of the ISSA/GraceKennedy Boys and Girls' Athletics Championship at the National Stadium in Kingston.
