(INDIANAPOLIS) Invaders' Mary Danner won a bronze medal at the IAAF
World Indoor Championships as the anchor leg of the US National Team's

give the US Team a third place finish of 3:31.69 vs Jamaica's 3:31.23.
Danner, competing in her first world championship, captured the
second world championship medal in the history of the Invaders.

accomplishment. This experience has the makings of a successful
career for Danner."
