MOSCOW (AP) - Lolo Jones led an American sweep of the podium while breaking the 19-year record in the 60-meter hurdles at the Russian Winter indoor meet.

Jones clocked 7.89 seconds Sunday to shave .03 seconds off the mark set by Jeva Sokolova of Russia in 1993. She was followed by Ivette Lewis in 8.03 and Danielle Carruthers in 8.05.

Countryman Josh Norman timed 6.63 seconds to win the men's 60, 0.01 ahead of world indoor champion Dwain Chambers of Britain and 0.02 in front of Rytis Sakalauskas of Lithuania.

Defending champion Aleksandr Menkov of Russia won the men's long jump, and Adam Kszczot of Poland finished first in the men's 600.
