He needed to dip under 46.7secs to make the individual squad but his sparkling performance has justifiably secured the Birmingham youngster a relay place.
Despite missing out on individual glory the Birchfield Harrier was always confident He said: "I'm a bit off the individual time but if a few other guys can run quickly then they might take a relay team. But I definitely see myself in that – but it all depends."
Meanwhile, Sutton's Laura Kenney secured a season's best performance at the Gran Premio Andalucia meeting in Malaga on Saturday.
The Royal Sutton Coldfield AC star was fifth in the 5,000m in 15.35.76mins.
