U.S. Olympic triathlete Morgan Pearson revealed how he got into triathlon during a video interview with uSports. He qualified for the 2020 Summer Olympics after winning a bronze medal at the 2021 World Triathlon Championship Series in Yokohama and a silver in Leeds, United Kingdom.
“I started triathlons in 2018; I was a college runner and swam in high school,” Pearson recalled. “But I was like, ‘Triathlon might take it to the Olympics because I got it. I’ve been grinding ever since I made it to Tokyo and made it back for Paris.”
Pearson ran cross country and track and field at the University of Colorado Boulder, where he was named All-American seven times. The Colorado alum claimed a silver medal in the mixed relay at the 2020 games while he finished 42nd place at this summer’s men’s triathlon, seven minutes and one second behind the winner. The New Jersey native is ranked ninth overall in the men’s World Triathlon Rankings and 32nd in individual Olympic qualifying.
On Monday, Pearson took silver in the mixed triathlon.
