Ugandan sprinter Tarsis Orogot secured Olympic Qualification in the men's 200m.
Orogot ran a National Record and Personal Best of 19.90 in 200m at the Tom Jones Memorial Classic in Gainesville, Florida on Saturday.
The meet featured the cream of college athletics talent plus more established names taking part in Olympic Development (OD) races.
