American Isiah Young turned in the fastest time of the day in the men's 200-meter semifinals Wednesday at the IAAF World Athletics Championships in London.
Young will be joined in Thursday's final by Team USA's Ameer Webb, who finished second in his heat. Young clocked 20.12 seconds, while Webb's time was 20.22.
Former Oregon Ducks sprinter Kyree King failed to advance to the final, placing fifth in his heat in 20.59.
Isaac Makwala of Botswana finished second in Young's heat to also advance to the final. Makwala had missed the 200 qualifying heats with a stomach bug before being allowed to run a solo race earlier Wednesday for a chance to make the semifinals.
