Forty-one-year-old Dara Torres was the anchor on the U.S. team that won the 400-freestyle relay Saturday night, leading them to a silver medal. The former Gator might have been able to catch the Netherlands team if there were just 50 to 100 more meters in the race, but the Dutch were too far ahead when she started her leg.
Also, UF's Gemma Spofforth will compete in the 100 backstroke semifinals after she finished sixth overall in the preliminaries.
