SINGAPORE — Shanti Pereira notched another milestone in a stellar 2023 for her as she has qualified for the World Athletics Championships on merit.
Athletes are awarded points based on a combination of result and placing, as well as the level of the competition for the meet. Pereira, whose personal best is 11.20sec, was 49th in the world rankings at the end of the qualification window with 1,220 points. But she qualified as the 36th-highest entrant as each country is allowed only a maximum of three entrants, though Jamaica have four representatives, as Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is the defending champion.
Pereira, whose personal best this season is 22.69sec, which is also a national record, was second on that list with 1,228 points.
