Career

Morris was a latecomer to cycling, only taking up the sport while studying medicine at the University of Southampton. [1] She had a breakout year in 2022, earning three medals at the British National Track Championships before going on to represent Wales at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. [2] Morris earned her first global medal when part of the team pursuit squad that took silver at the UCI Track World Championships in October 2022. [3]

She won two golds at the 2024 UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Ballerup, Denmark, taking both the individual [4] [5] and team pursuit titles. [6] [7]

On February 15, 2025, Morris won the women’s 4000 metre individual pursuit at the European Track Championships, and set a new world record in that event twice that day, by setting a world record time of 4:28.306 in the qualifying ride and then a new world record time of 4:25.874 in the final. [8] [9]
