2020-21: At NCAA Division II National Championships, Morgan finished runner-up in the women's 100-yard breaststroke with the second-fastest event time in Carson-Newman Swimming history. Morgan is the first Eagle swimmer of either gender to grab a silver medal at the national championship meet.

2019-2020: Morgan was instrumental in the Blue vs. Orange Championships, winning the 100-yard breaststroke and placing second in the 100-yard individual medley. On the first day of the Emory Invitational, Morgan took home second place in the 100-yard breaststroke at a time of 1:06.64. On day two of the UT Invitational, Morgan finished the C final of the women's 100-yard breaststroke at a time of 1:03.54. It was the second-fastest time ever set in the event in C-N history and right on the borderline to qualify on the national level. Morgan teamed up with CJ Jensen, Manon Compagner and Mary Northcutt to take eighth in the 'A' final fo the 200-yard medley relay, securing an All-American honor.
