Four Sooners will be looking to defend titles in the J.D. Martin Invitational. Sheldon Leith (60-meter hurdles), Chip Heuser (pole vault), Shardae Boutte (triple jump) and Mitch Henry (heptathlon) all earned titles in their respective events in 2007 and are slated to compete in those same events this year.
Boutte, Henry and Leith are all coming off title wins in their respective events at last week's Razorback Invitational. Boutte currently has the nation's second-longest mark, 52 feet and 11.5 inches (16.14 meters), in the triple jump.
