The talented 19-year-old has had an amazing season to date, running national records in the 60m, 200m, 300m and 400m.
She also made the semi-finals at the World Championships and anchored the Mixed 4x400m team to the world final.
The Tallaght AC athlete is currently based in the US where she studies at Texas University.
Her rise to tonight's final follows and already strong showing for team Ireland.
Earlier today, Waterford's Thomas Barr won his heat to qualify for the semi-finals of the men's 400m hurdles.
Perfectly smooth win over the first hurdles for @TomBarr247 and now a semi-final awaits: he’s out in lane eight but he’s there and that’s plenty good for now. https://t.co/t0l11CPgcX
