(INDIANAPOLIS) The Indiana Invaders have added 2004 Olympic Trials 110 meter hurdler Ron Andrews, a graduate of Kent State University, to the team's roster. Andrews has a career best of 13.71 seconds in the 110 hurdles.

Andrews was a 2002 MAC Conference 60 meter hurdle Champion and an NCAA All-American in 2000 with a fifth place finish in the 60 meter hurdles.

In high school, Andrews was a two-time class-A New York state champion in 1996 and 1997.

Team Director Greg Harger said, "Andrews is ready to compete at a higher level. His previous achievements on the track show his potential to be a consistent competitor at the national level." Harger added, "Andrews has made the type of mental commitment required to fully explore his abilities and opportunities and we expect to see a high level of performance in the 110 hurdles over the next few years with the Andrews and Chris Thomas tandem."

Andrews joins a team that had 16 athletes qualify for both the 2000 and the 2004 US Olympic Trials.

The Indiana Invaders, a not-for-profit organization founded in 1998, presents an innovative approach to track & field by providing a resident-based, athlete-centered support system unique to the sport in the United States.
