Incredibly, the Tipperary woman along with two other athletes finished in the exact same time of 52-point-two-three seconds in their heat.
They were all declared second in the race as America’s Talitha Diggs won the heat in a time of 52-point-one-seven seconds.
Second place was enough for qualification for this evening’s World semi-finals which get underway in Glasgow at 8.50pm.
