Morgan did not set out to be a wheelchair sprint athlete, preferring to play wheelchair rugby and became the first woman to make the U.S. rugby team. In 2009, she was part of the U.S. Rugby team that won gold at the IWRF Americas Championship in Buenos Aires. She took to the track in an attempt to improve her speed on the rugby court, only to find that she had an aptitude to racing. The next year Morgan travelled to France to take part in the 2013 IPC Athletics World Championships in Lyon. There she won the bronze in the 100 m, and silver in both the 200 m and 800 m, denied by her old rival, Michelle Stilwell. ==References==
