Thornton athlete Emily Coppins (pictured) has qualified for 4x400m relay final at the World Junior Championships in Barcelona.
The 18-year-old was the third runner in the girl’s relay team that finished fifth in their heat with a time of three minutes and 40.57 seconds on Saturday.
The Australian squad went through to the decider after America and Romania were disqualified for changing batons outside the permitted area.
