(INDIANAPOLIS)-- The Indiana Invaders' hurdlers stood out in
the spotlight of the Smith Barney Invitational as Le'gretta
Smith won the 60 meter hurdles as did teammate Daren Youngstrom,
a graduate of Taylor University. Invaders' decathlete Brendon
Falconer took third and 400 meter hurdler John McAfee placed
fourth in the 60 meter hurdles event.

for USA Indoor Nationals and Youngstrom's time of 7.91 was even
closer at .01 seconds. Falconer's 7.99 second personal best was

with a three PR series. The winning throw measuring 18.51 meters and
setting a new Smith Barney Meet record while narrowly missing a USATF
