She clocked 23.07 into a strong headwind in Manchester, just behind Jodie Williams (23.02).
The first two were guaranteed Olympic qualification and, after a close finish, Dobbin had a slightly nervous wait for the official result.
Earlier in the day she comfortably won her heat in a time of 23.22.
Dobbin will join Doncaster’s taekwondo star Bradly Sinden in Tokyo next month, while former Doncaster Dartes swimmer Max Litchfield has also been selected to represent Team GB.
