Morgan Cadwell Pearson (born September 22, 1993) is an American professional triathlete who won a silver medal in the mixed relay event at the 2020 Summer Olympics.[1]
Raised in the New Vernon section of Harding Township, New Jersey, Pearson began running competitively as a student at Delbarton School.[2] He is the son of former Valeant Pharmaceuticals CEO J. Michael Pearson.
Pearson competed in cross-country and track and field, and ran collegiately for the University of Colorado, where he was a seven-time All-American.[3] He currently resides and trains in Boulder, Colorado.
He won a bronze medal at the 2021 World Triathlon Championship Series Yokohama and a silver at Leeds, which allowed him to qualify for the 2020 Summer Olympics.
At the Olympic Games Men's Triathlon, with the start moved to 6:30 a.m. because of heat, Morgan swam and rode well but at Transition 2 had to wait 15 seconds in the Penalty area for an infraction incurred at Transition 1. Morgan finished 42nd overall, 7 minutes 1 second behind the winner, in a race, for all competitors, defined by the tough heat and humidity conditions of the running section.
