(INDIANAPOLIS) The Indiana Invaders have added NCAA Qualifying 400 meter hurdler Andrea Mosher, a graduate of Illinois State University and Ann Arbor Pioneer High School (MI), to the team's roster. Mosher has a career best of 58.38 in the 400 hurdles and a best of 14.07 in the 100 hurdles.

While at Illinois State University, Mosher qualified for the 2003 NCAA Outdoor Championships in the 400 hurdles and helped set four school records. Mosher was also a six-time Missouri Valley Conference champion.

In high school, Mosher attended Ann Arbor Pioneer High School and was a state champion in the 300 hurdles in route to setting Michigan's state record in that event. Mosher was a 2002 USATF Junior All-American in the 400 hurdles running the second fastest all-time performance in Michigan prep history.

Team Director Greg Harger said, "Mosher has a diverse athletic resume and a wide range of talent. Her best event may not be the hurdles short or long." Harger added, "In her senior year, Mosher competed the Indiana Invitational 800 where won the multi-round format her first and second 800 efforts ever. We will explore some things for her in this initial post-collegiate season and focus on preparation for the 2008 season while she wraps up her graduate studies."

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