(INDIANAPOLIS) The Indiana Invaders' Masters athletes captured top honors at the USA Masters Indoor Track & Field Championships at the Reggie Lewis Track & Athletic Center in Boston, MA on March 26-28, 2004. The Invaders represented by Olympian Sunder Nix and All-American Robert Thomas captured three firsts and one third place finish.

Sunder Nix, Olympian & world record holder in the indoor 440 yard dash, won the 400 in the 40 year age group with a time of 50.42. Robert Thomas won the 200 and 400 (M35) with times of 22.20 and 48.88, respectively. Thomas also placed third in the 60 meter dash (M35 - 7.22).

Team Director Greg Harger said, "We expect to field a larger competitive masters team element this August as our Masters roster has reached nearly 20 athletes in the last few weeks. The new masters athletes will be organized and focused on track & field opportunities with the summer track championships being held in Illinois. Fall will see an appearance at USATF National Masters Cross Country Championships with the addition of a couple more athletes in the next few weeks. Nix and Thomas look forward to leading a much larger group when they return next year."
