In 1947, Torres set an Argentinian record of 1:53.7 to win the 800 m gold medal at the 1947 South American Championships in Athletics. His record was broken by Julio Ferreyra, who ran 1:53.6 at the 1951 Pan American 800 m.[2] Torres won a silver medal in the 4 × 400 m at the 1952 South American Championships in Athletics.[3]
