Jamaica advanced to the final of the Mixed 4x100m on day one of the 2025 World Athletics Relays in Guangzhou, China on Saturday.

The quartet of Natasha Morrison, Krystal Sloley, Javari Thomas and Rasheed Foster combined to run 41.04 and win the second of three heats just ahead of Great Britain (41.05) who also automatically made it through to Sunday’s final.

Jamaica’s Mixed 4x400m team unfortunately missed out on qualification to the World Championships on their first attempt with a sixth-place finish in heat one.

The team of Demar Francis, Niesha Burgher, Delano Kennedy and Kelly-Ann Beckford finished down the field in a season’s best 3:18.83.

They will have another opportunity to qualify on Sunday.
