SMITHFIELD, RI -  Bryant University senior sprinter Haifz Greigre (Attleboro, Mass.) has been selected to participate in the 2008 Track & Field World Indoor Championships which will take place March 7-9, 2008 in Valencia, Spain. Greigre will participate for his native Liberian National Team and will run in the 4x400 meter relay event that is scheduled for Sunday, March 9.

Greigre, the holder of 13 Bryant indoor and outdoor records, is the two-time defending Northeast-10 Conference champion in the outdoor 100m and 200m and has twice qualified for the NCAA Championships.  He won the New England 400 meter championship last year at the New England Championships in Hanover, NH, posting the nation's fourth-fastest time in the event.

He has also twice qualified for the NCAA Indoor Championships in the 200 meters, earning all-America honors.  An outstanding student in the classroom, Greigre was honored as an Academic All-American by the USTFCCCA last spring with a perfect 4.0 GPA while taking seven classes, all while competing during the outdoor season.
