Halutie also made it to the semi finals after clocking 11.77sec, which saw her finish third in her heat.
Meanwhile, the only Ghanaian male sprinter at the championship, Emmanuel Yeboah, clocked a time of 10.50sec in heat 5.
His time was good enough to earn the 21-year-old a third-place finish in his heat.
“This was not my best race. The false start was playing in my mind. Everybody was too careful not get off too early. But hopefully in the semi finals I will make amends,” Yeboah is quoted as saying by Citinewsroom.com.
