The 1998 World Championships in Perth, Australia marked her last international appearance. There she made the finals in the 200-meter butterfly and 200-meter individual medley. She also became the fifth American woman to qualify for four individual events on a World Championship team. Previously this had been done by Janet Evans (1991), Cynthia Woodhead (1978), Tracy Caulkins (1978), and Shirley Babashoff (1975).
