Barnsley man Joe Ferguson is through to the semi-final of the 200m at the World Athletics Championship in Eugene, USA.
The 22-year-old from Darton recorded a time of 20.33 in his heat today, which was his first senior race for Great Britain.
He finished fourth, with three qualifying automatically, but was one of three 'fastest losers' after a nervous race for the other six heats to be completed.
Ferguson finished seventh in the semi-finals in the early hours of Wednesday morning, UK time so did not make the final.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
