NEW YORK -- Gail Devers has plenty left in her 36-year-old legs.

	Gail Devers leads the field on her way to setting an American record in the indoor 60-meter hurdles.

The two-time Olympic champion set an American indoor record in the 60-meter hurdles Friday at the Millrose Games, finishing in 7.78 seconds. Stacy Dragila also reset her American record in the pole vault, jumping 15 feet, 5¾ inches.

Both upstaged the flashier Maurice Greene.

Greene had a disappointing finish in the 60, finishing third in 6.57 behind winner and hurdle specialist Terrence Trammell (6.51) and 20-year-old Justin Gatlin (6.54), in his first post-collegiate race.

Devers was anything but disappointing en route to the record and Millrose Games Outstanding Performer trophy. She broke the mark of 7.81 set by Jackie Joyner-Kersee on Feb. 5, 1989.

The time also is the world's eighth fastest ever, and a Millrose Games record. Devers, who won the 100 in the 1992 and 1996 Olympics, led from the start and finished way ahead of Melissa Morrison (7.95) for her first victory at the Millrose Games since 1992.

Devers doesn't know if this was her last performance at the Millrose Games -- or when she is going to retire.

''You need to ask me about next week, not next year,'' Devers said. ''I used to say I'm going year by year. Now it's day by day.

''I don't want to say that 'r' word. I have no clue. I honestly think one day I'll wake up and know.''

Chryste Gaines, who held off Angela Williams to win the 60 in 7.23 seconds, was sitting nearby when she heard Devers and yelled, ''Yeah, right, she's never going to retire.''

Devers looked at Gaines and said, ''Oh yes she is.''

There was much more drama in the men's 60. Trammell raced 30 minutes earlier in the 60 hurdles and came in second, but had enough energy to beat Greene, who had a subpar 2002 in which he lost the 100-meter world record to Tim Montgomery.

Greene has the world record in the 60, but started slowly at the Millrose Games and could not catch up. He won the same event at the Boston Indoor Games last weekend, but said earlier this week he is not yet completely in top form.

''I wasn't aggressive enough,'' Greene said. ''I think I was a little too patient and not aggressive enough. Scratch that. Never doing that again.''

The last time Trammell raced in the 60 hurdles and 60 sprint was in 2001, when he won both events. Larry Wade won the hurdles for the second consecutive Millrose Games, finishing in 7.48 seconds -- 0.01 ahead of Trammell, who led for most of the race.

''I didn't want to dwell on my second-place finish in the hurdles because I had another race,'' Trammell said.

Dragila cleared 15-5½ last week in Boston for the American record, but she still is in search of her world record. Russia's Svetlana Feofanova raised the indoor mark to 15-7¼ last weekend.

On Friday, Dragila failed in all three attempts to set a world record at 15-7¾.

''I walked out of the pit angry, and that's good,'' Dragila said. ''It's good to go home and have something to work on.''

Dragila was hampered most of last year with a foot injury, and Feofanova took advantage. She reset the world record five times.

''Last year, a lot of critics said, 'She's done,''' Dragila said. ''I feel great right now. I'm excited that I'm back and can flush last year down the toilet.

In the signature Wanamaker Mile, Kenya's Bernard Lagat outpaced the entire field, taking the lead midway through the race and winning easily in 4:00.36. Lagat won the Millrose in 2001 but was upset last year by countryman Laban Rotich.

This year, Russia's Vyacheslav Shabunin was second in 4:01.99 and Rotich finished third in 4:02.91. Lagat was going for the Wanamaker Mile record of 3:53 set by Eamonn Coghlan in 1981.

''I was trying to push the pace,'' Lagat said. ''(The record) didn't happen today but I'm sure it's going to happen next time.''

Hazel Clark, who also came into this year off a foot injury, had a successful night. Clark won the 800 in 2:07.66 for her first Millrose victory. Her older sister, Joetta Clark-Diggs, is part of the 2003 Millrose Hall of Fame. Their sister-in-law, Jearl Miles-Clark, won the 400 in 55.08 seconds.

Regina Jacobs didn't have the chance to win her race. Jacobs, who became the first woman to run the indoor 1,500 in less than four minutes last week, withdrew from the mile because of a leg injury. Romania's Elena Iagar won instead.

''I was hoping to come here and do something special,'' Jacobs said. ''We're being careful.''

Something a bit unusual happened in the women's high jump. Tisha Waller and Amy Acuff agreed to end the event in a tie after failing to clear several attempts for the victory.

Both tried for a meet record 6 feet, 6 inches, but failed in all three of their attempts. Since they had equal records on their total attempts, there was a jump off -- where each had one try to clear the bar.

The first height was set at 6-6. They could not clear that. The bar was lowered to 6-4¾, and neither could clear. It is Waller's seventh Millrose Games victory, and Acuff won the Millrose Games last year.

''By the end, both of us were so worn out we couldn't even execute anything properly,'' Acuff said. ''We decided to just quit. It was a lot of high quality jumps the first meet out. We're both really happy.''
