#BEIJING2015 Update: Shevon Stoddart out of 400mH semis
KINGSTON, Jamaica – Jamaica’s Shevon Stoddart is out of the 400-metre Hurdles semi-finals after Australia successfully appealed Lauren Wells’ disqualification from heat four of the event at the IAAF World Championships now underway in Beijing, China.
Wells has therefore advanced to the semi-finals with her second place 55.65-seconds finish.
Stoddart was earlier listed as going through to the semi-finals along with teammates Kaliese Spencer and Janieve Russell. She had clocked 56.60 seconds to finish fifth in heat four.
Only Spencer and Russell will now compete in the 400-metre Hurdles.
