Niamh Murray has qualified for Wednesday’s 400m final at the U18 European Championships with the run of her life in this morning's semi-final.

Murray, who ran from lane 1 with no athlete outside her in lane 2, showed experience beyond her years to cross the finish line in a 54.88PB to secure one of the fastest qualifier places.

Murray will now return for her 3rd appearance of the week when she takes to the 400m final which is set for 5.05pm (Irish time) on Wednesday July 6th.
