February 28, 2003
(INDIANAPOLIS) Invaders' Mary Danner advanced out of the qualifying heats of the 400 meters on the opening day of the USA Track & Field Indoor National Championships on February 28, 2003. Danner finished fifth overall from the qualifying heats with a time of 54.61.

Team Director Greg Harger said, "Danner created a great opportunity for herself to make the World Championship team as a relay member with her performance. For this being her first time at the National championships she handled the pressure very well." Harger added, "Today we saw her run her second best performance of the season. Anything can happen tomorrow." Danner has a career indoor best of 54.18, set this season, and a outdoor career best of 53.30 in the 400 meters.

Fans, on the second day of championship, will see Danner competing in the finals of the 400, Brandon Hon in the first round of the 60 hurdles, Greg Yeldell in the triple jump, Tameka Borders in the 60 meters, and Hope Sanders & Jacob Koczman in the first rounds of the 800.
