Mawdsley won her heat in a time of 50.72. She is now second on the all-time Irish list behind Rhasidat Adeleke’s time of 49.20.
The Newport sprinter had yet to run the automatic qualifying time for Paris. She now joins Adeleke as the second Irish woman to achieve the standard in the 400m for the Olympic Games.
Earlier this year, Mawdsley was left heartbroken when after her disqualification at the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Glasgow.
The Tipperary native had appeared to secure her place in the final of the 400m, only to be later disqualified following an appeal from Austrian runner Susanne Gogl-Walli.
