Melissa Morgan (born 1 January 1985) is an Australian swimmer who specialized in backstroke events.[1]
Morgan qualified for the women's 200-metre backstroke at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by attaining both her personal record and an A-standard entry time of 2:12.90 from the Telstra Olympic Swimming Trials in Sydney.[2][3] Morgan secured her spot for the semifinals, after finishing twelfth overall in the morning's preliminary heats, outside her personal record of 2:14.06. On the evening session, Morgan edged out her teammate Frances Adcock in the second semifinal run with a much faster time of 2:13.34, but failed to qualify for the final.[4]
