Morgan Smyth lives in Vernon and started for the Northern Michigan University sports team , the Northern Michigan Wildcats . She has been taking part in international cross-country races at the Continental Cup and FIS races since March 2002. Her first use was at an FIS race over 5 kilometers in Grafton , which she finished eighth in the top ten.

She then took part in the national championships in Soldier Hollow . Things went better at the Junior World Championships 2006 in Kranj , where Smyth finished seventh in the sprint, while she was only 40th in the classic technique over five kilometers.

Even over 30 kilometers, she came in tenth place in the top ten in Callaghan Valley . At the end of 2008, Smyth achieved her first podium finish in a race of the Nor-Am Cup in Vernon as the runner-up in a sprint . The 2009 US championships brought back a top ten result with seventh place in the sprint and the first medal with second place over five kilometers in classic style. Only a little later, Smyth made his debut in Vancouver in a sprint race in the cross-country skiing world cup and won his first world cup points as 25th.
