Another runner advancing to Saturday's final is Emanuel Joseph, who set a new personal best in the 110-meter hurdles. He finished third in his heat, qualifying on time, in 13.80 seconds. Naseem Smith ran a season-best 13.98, taking 11th, followed by Isaiah Lewis (14.07 seconds) with a personal best in 12th. David Peters (14.32 seconds) and Isaiah Hayes (14.44 seconds) were 16th and 18th, respectively.
James and Joseph join Iaunia Pointer (200-meter dash) and Xayvion Perkins (400-meter hurdles) as runners who advanced to Saturday's final from Thursday's prelims.
