On the women\u2019s side, Hor Halutie, Benedict Kwartemaa, and Mary Boakye showcased remarkable performances to secure their spots in the semifinals.<\/p>\n

Halutie Hor, Mary Boakye, and Benedicta Kwartemaa have all qualified to the semis of the females 100m heats.<\/p>\n

Hor Halutie in heat 1 finished second with 11.69s to qualify.<\/p>\n

Despite finishing fifth in heat 2 with a time of 11.95s, Benedict Kwartemaa narrowly advanced to the semifinals. Her time was later confirmed as one of the fastest losers, securing her a spot in the next round of the competition.<\/p>\n

Mary Boakye also came second in heat 3 with 11.50s, the best time among the Ghanaian female sprinters to also make it to the next round as they all set sights on a medal for Team Ghana.<\/p>\n

With all eyes set on medals for Team Ghana, the athletes are gearing up for the semifinals, which are scheduled to take place later on Monday at 5:30 pm local time at the University of Ghana stadium.<\/p>\n
