Western Kentucky senior Julius Morris ran in the semifinals of the 200-meter dash at the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games early Wednesday morning and just missed the cutoff to advance to the finals at Carrara Stadium in Queensland, Australia.

Montserrat native Morris competed in the third heat of the 200-meter semifinals, running a 10.69. The final runner to make the cut clocked a time of 10.66, leaving Morris out of the finals by three one-hundredths of a second in 10th.

In order to qualify for the finals, competitors had to finish in the top two of their heat.

After those six runners were determined, the next two fastest times were chosen to advance. Morris held the fourth fastest time after the top two.

Advancing to the semifinals in GC2018 was the furthest Morris had advanced in any world competition including the 2014 Commonwealth Games and the 2015 and 2017 World Championships.
