Eve Walsh-Dann set a season’s best of 14.18 in the heats of the 100m T37/38 at the Scotstoun Stadium.
It was the North Down athlete’s fastest time in four years but not enough to make the final.
Walsh Dann went into the event ranked tenth and ended up finishing ninth.

Image source, Team ScotlandScotland's Jason Banks missed the chance to progress to the men's singles semi-finals, losing to Sam Tolchard of England in a winner-takes-all final group game.
The former world number one struggled to settle on the carpet, while his English counterpart stormed to a straight sets victory.
Banks clawed back to 3-3 in the first set, but lost a full-house four that appeared to rock any momentum he hoped to take into the second set.
"I'm just disappointed that I didn't make it through," the former world champion told BBC Scotland. "I tried my best but it just wasn't quite good enough on the day."
The 30-year-old wasn't the only Scottish bowler to through their final bowl of this Commonwealth Games, with women's pair, Caroline Brown and Beth Riva exiting too.
Their fate was already sealed before taking on Cook Islands, but the pair ended on a high with a straight sets victory.
Like Banks, Riva was involved in her first Commonwealth Games, while veteran Brown competed in her fifth.

The double Commonwealth gold medal winner finished in 13:05, the third fastest time.
"I'm happy, I'm content," she said.
"I didn't want to go all out for the heat, I'm saving myself for the final and I'm excited for later.
The Team Wales captain celebrated her 30th birthday yesterday.
"I went to The Ivy with my parents, had a good old Shepherds pie," said Breen.
Meanwhile, there was disappointment for Welsh hammer thrower Amber Simpson who failed to qualify for the final.
After two failures, she threw 59.14 on her final attempt which left her 13th in the standings, one shy of a place in tomorrow's medal event.

The Immaculata fighter, who is co-captain of the Team NI boxing squad, dominated the fight from the first bell against her Bangladeshi opponent at the SEC Centre.
Ferdous' efforts were further undermined when she was docked a point in the second round for persistent holding.
Fryers, who won a European silver medal in 2022, will face the winner of Monday evening's clash between India's Sakshi Chaudhary and Botswana's Lethabo Modukanele in the quarter-finals on Wednesday.
Quinn became the third Team NI boxer after Louis Rooney and JP Hale to exit following a 4-1 defeat by Seychelles' Jade Micock in the light-heavyweight division.

Image source, Team ScotlandA Commonwealth Games boxing match only lasts nine minutes, but there was a wee bit of afters outside the ring following Nick Devlin's split-decision win over Ebenezer Ankrah from Ghana.
A tight bout, the Scotsman was granted a little bit of breathing space courtesy of Ankrah's point deduction for handling in the third round. Coorie in, son.
At times, it appeared he was hanging onto the 25-year-old with dear life, but when the warning was issued, Ankrah's camp, supporters and Ghanaian media were livid.
Heckles to the referee pierced through the jubilant home support who had just watched Devlin move to one fight away from a medal, and they continued out onto the concourse post-fight.
Volunteers shifted to the side as Ankrah's coaches and media vented their frustration. Eventually, 20 minutes or so post-fight, things started to cool down.
The Scot, who has swapped stacking shelves at Aldi for reaching a Commonwealth Games quarter-final with his country, was left unfazed by the reaction, though. In fact, it spurred him on a wee bit more.
"It just gave me that extra 10%, in addition to the incredible noise the home supporters made again," Devlin told BBC Scotland.
"I could hear my team shouting in between rounds and that's only helping as well.
"I can't thank them enough, they're the best team in the world.
"I just want to go and win a medal for them as well."

Harris-Allan, 22, celebrated a unanimous victory against Niven Chemben from Mauritius.
The lightweight from Cardiff, who won bronze at the Birmingham Games in 2022, will fight Scotland's Nicholas Devlin on Wednesday.
Light-heavyweight Holley-Sotomi defeated England's Paddy Hewitt in a split decision to set up a quarter-final bout against Refiloe Thai from Lesotho.
Connor Williams, Rosie Eccles, Niamh Brookes and Helen Jones were already in the last eight, while Daniel Pitt is in last-16 action later on Monday

Richards was second in his 100m freestyle heat behind England's Gabriel Shepherd to progress to tonight's semi-final.
He was third fastest in qualifying overall and will be joined by fellow Welsh swimmers Harry Milne and Dan Jones, who finished third and fourth respectively in their heat.
Medi Harris and Rebecca Sutton qualified for the women's 50m backstroke semi-finals this evening, a feat that was matched by Amy Crowley in the women's 50m breaststroke.

Gary Kelly is in the semi-finals of the men’s singles without having to throw a bowl on Monday morning.
Unbeaten in five group games, the two-time Commonwealth Games medallist had his destiny in his own hands anyway and would have made the final four by taking a set off South African Wayne Rittmuller in his final game this afternoon.
However his closest rival, Shannon McIlroy from New Zealand, could only beat his opponent from Niue Island 1.5 sets to 0.5 when he had to win 2-0 meaning he can no longer catch Kelly.
In the semi-finals, Kelly will face Sam Tolchard from England in a repeat of the bronze medal play-off from 2010 in Delhi, a game Kelly won to secure the first of two Commonwealth medals.

European champion Danielle Hill and Olympic gold medallist Jack McMillan have qualified for swimming semi-finals on Monday night.
At the Tollcross Swimming Centre on Monday morning, Larne swimmer Hill, who is competing in her fourth Commonwealth Games, won her women's 50m backstroke heat in a time of 28.04 seconds.
Only Kylie Masse posted a quicker time to qualify for the semi-finals with the Canadian winning her own heat in 27.79.
There is no place in the semi-finals for Hill's team-mate Lottie Cullen who missed out by just 0.11 seconds on a top-16 placing.
McMillan came fifth in his men's 100m freestyle heat with a time of 49.51 but team-mate Matthew Hamilton did not progress after finishing in 50.46.
Patrick Johnston just missed out on the men's 200m backstroke final with his time of 1:59.93 the ninth fastest in the heats.
Image source, Team WalesWales' fastest man Jeremiah Azu is through to the men's 100m semi-finals after a comfortable start to his Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
Azu won his heat in a time of 10:10 which meant he was the sixth fastest in qualifying.
The 17 fastest athletes are through to tomorrow's semi-finals where they will join the top seven ranked sprinters who were given a bye from the heats.
"I got out well, and then I just controlled it from the front," said Azu.
"With these days, it's more the nervous energy and the excitement that you can burn.
"So on the track, you want to be as smart as you can during the rounds. Today was just about qualifying and getting through to tomorrow.
"It's good to get the ball rolling. It's just been waiting, waiting, waiting, but now it's officially begun."

Team Northern Ireland weightlifter Harrison McGrogan finished fifth in men's 71kg at the SEC Armadillo.
The 18-year-old, who was making his Commonwealth Games debut, scored 128kg in the snatch.
He failed to lift 133kg in his second and third attempts as the bar slipped from his grasp on both occasions.
He successfully lifted 160kg in his first attempt at the clean and jerk before failing at 167kg and 172kg as again he struggled with his grip on the bar in those two attempts.
That gave him a final score of 288kg, 10kg behind England's Jonathan Chin in fourth.
McGrogan explained after the competition that a cut on his hand sustained in the warm-up was aggravated when he was doing his first snatch and it had an impact on the rest of his lift attempts.
"I feel like I was better than fifth, I feel like I should have been in the medals but it is tough when you can't hold onto the bar," he told BBC Sport NI.
"I got a massive blood blister when I was warming up and then when I did my first snatch the whole thing ripped off so it was hard to lift the bar after that."
Nigeria's Joseph Edidiong Umoafia claimed gold as he set new Commonwealth Games records in both the snatch and clean and jerk.
He lifted 147kg in the snatch and 172kg in the clean and jerk for a final score of 319kg, which was also a new record and 4kg ahead of Samoa's John Lautafi Tafi in second.
Nauru's Ezekiel Moses took the bronze medal.
