Jessica Morrison, who comes from the Fitzroy district , finished seventh with her Australian eighth at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. The Australians moved up for the actually qualified Russians after the publication of the McLaren report on state doping in Russia did not have enough unencumbered Russian rowers to fill the eighth row.
Jessica Morrison did not return to the Australian national team until 2019. Together with Annabelle McIntyre she started in two boat classes. In the two without helmsman, the two took second place behind the New Zealanders Grace Prendergast and Kerri Gowler at the World Cup in Poznan and won in Rotterdam ahead of Prendergast and Gowler. At the world championships in Linz / Ottensheim, Prendergast and Gowler won ahead of Morrison and McIntyre. In the eighth, the Australians won in Poznan and took second place behind the New Zealanders in Rotterdam. With Leah Saunders , Jacinta Edmunds , Bronwyn Cox , Georgina Rowe , Rosemary Popa , Annabelle McIntyre, Jessica Morrison, Molly Goodman and helmsman James Rook , the Australians won silver at the World Championships behind New Zealand and ahead of the boat from the United States.
