Abby Steiner advances to 200M semifinals at World Championships

Abby Steiner continues to dominate the competition, this time at the U.S. World Championships in Eugene.

Competing in the 200m, the former Kentucky track and field star finished first in the fifth heat with a final time of 22.26 seconds to advance to the event semifinal. She was followed by Mujinga Kambundji (22.34 seconds) and Nzubechi Grace Nwokocha (22.61 seconds) to round out top finishers.

The semifinals will take place Tuesday night at 9:05 p.m. ET, where you can watch live on Peacock. The 200m finals are Thursday night at 10:35 p.m. ET and will air live on USA Network.

Steiner previously set the collegiate record in the 200m at the NCAA Championships in June before winning her first national title at the USATF Championships with a time of 21.77 seconds, a new personal best, the sixth fastest in American history, and the 17th fastest in world history. Steiner’s time of 21.77 is the second fastest in the world this year behind Jamaica’s Shericka Jackson’s 21.55.

Steiner isn’t the only Wildcat competing in Eugene, as several others have events this week, including Sydney McLaughlin, who begins her quest in the 400m hurdles on Tuesday.
