		On the final day of the meet, Torres set an American record in the 50- meter freestyle at 24.73 seconds, breaking by 14-hundredths of a second the mark set by the runner-up in that race, Amy Van Dyken, in her four-gold-medal performance at the 1996 Olympics.

		From the time Torres returned to the sport, she and Thompson had trained together under Quick with the Stanford team; in March, Torres stopped training with them and began working out alone with Quick, in what all concerned insist was a mutual decision.
