The middle distance runner Nikki Hamblin has qualified for selection for the New Zealand team to the world championships in Berlin in August after finishing second over 1500 metres in the Netherlands.

Hamblin's coach Chris Pilone says her time of 4m 8.52s is good as she'd been sick before the race with a stomach bug.

The B standard set for selection to the world championships is 4m 9s.
