Jamaica’s women’s 4x400m team secured their spot at the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris after dominating their second round heat at the World Relays in the Bahamas.

The quartet of Roneisha McGregor, Charokee Young, Ashley Williams, and Junelle Bromfield ran an impressive race, clocking in at 3:38.54.
