Michael Bentley, who ran 10.34 for second in heat 3, also made progress.

Shaquena Foote, who limped off the track with what appeared to be a hamstring injury, after her 2:07.75, qualified as the 13th fastest in the women’s 800m.
Chrissani May, who secured one of four automatic qualifying spots in heat 2 with 2:09.88, is also into Wednesday’s semi-finals.
Wayne Pinnock with an automatic qualifying mark of 7.76m, on his first attempt, and his teammate Shakwon Coke, 7.55m, are hoping for big things in the men’s long jump final.
Stacey-Ann Smith will be the lone Jamaican in action this afternoon. She will take part in the women’s 400m.
