Morgan Pearson

Pearson is originally from Spring Lake, New Jersey, where he grew up as a competitive swimmer, ocean lifeguard, and promising high school runner. He went on to run cross-country and track & field at the University of Colorado at Boulder, where he was a seven-time All-American. He got his start in elite triathlon after contacting USA Triathlon and training at a few development camps. He won the overall title at the USA Triathlon Age Group Sprint National Championships in 2017, and debuted as an elite triathlete in 2018. He experienced a breakout 2021 season, winning bronze in Yokohama to qualify for the Tokyo Olympic Games, and silver in Leeds, England, to become the first U.S. male to earn multiple World Triathlon Championship Series medals. He'd go on to anchor the silver-medal-winning U.S. Mixed Relay team at the Tokyo Olympic Games, and would again win a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics in the U.S. Mixed Relay team event.
