Regaining Her Stride - NY Times
...anger remains inside the tiny but muscular body of Torri Edwards...

...It was also challenging for Edwards to find the motivation to practice with no competition in sight. To keep busy, she returned to the University of Southern California to finish her bachelor’s degree in sociology. While her friends and training partners left for overseas meets, she sat in her apartment in Los Angeles and sulked...

...Now Edwards is poised to repeat her 2003 title in the 100, then pick up where she left off, on the path to the Olympics. She won a bronze in the 4x100 at the 2000 Games, but now wants a medal all to herself...

"...I still want to prove that I deserve to win these medals. That’s what is going to help me drive to the finish line first.”
