In the 400 meters, Veronika Simova recorded a personal best of 56.35 to secure a spot in the finals, while Andie Murray automatically qualified in the 1000 meters with a time of 2:08.26 in prelim action.

Esme Daplyn earned an automatic berth to the mile final after running 2:50.97 in her preliminary heat, and Annamaria Bacchetta notched a personal best of 4:58.38 in the mile.
