Jamaica's Adelle Tracey (yellow) survives a women's 1,500-metre burnup at the World Athletics Championships inside Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon earlier this evening.

Middle-distance runner, Adelle Tracey, who only recently began running under the Jamaican banner, has made her way into the World Athletics Championship semi-final.

Running in heat two of three women's 1,5oo metres, Tracey held on for the final of six automatic qualification spots in a race that was fast enough to include four non-automatic qualifiers.

Tracey clocked 4:05.14 seconds to qualify for the semi-final, the 13th fastest time of the evening.

The quickest qualifier of the day was Ethiopia’s Gudaf Tsegay, who clocked 4:02.68

The semi finals take place tomorrow at 9:05 p.m.
