Dara Torres made it into the semifinals of the 50-meter freestyle at the U.S. swimming trials today.
The 41-year-old, who was coming off last night's crowd-stirring victory in the 100-meter freestyle, had the third-best time today -- 24.72 seconds. Lara Jackson had the top time and set an American record with 24.50, trimming .03 seconds off the old mark set last year by none other than Torres.
