Rogers, a two-time world champion and Olympic gold medallist, has a personal best of 81.13 metres that she set on April 2.

Earlier in the day, reigning national champion Christopher Morales Williams easily qualified for Friday’s men’s 400-metre final.

The 21-year-old from Vaughan, Ont., crossed the line 46.05 seconds, a full second clear of the nearest competitor in the heats. Morales Williams won the world indoors title back in March.
