During the trials for the 1963 Pan American Games, Morrow finished runner-up behind Judy Stewart in the female group.[4] She achieved a clean sweep of titles in the 1963 British Columbia Championships women's open, with victory scores of 116.27, 110.16 and 58.76 in the 1-metre, 3-metre and tower events respectively.[5] She would train for at least two hours a day, four days a week with her aim to become a Canadian diving champion.[2]
Following the Olympics, she won the Alberta Open 1-metre and 3-metre springboard diving championships in September 1964.[6] In the 1965 Canadian Open springboard diving championships, she won the 1-metre event and was runner-up in the 3-metre event. Her closest opponent was Judy Stewart, who finished in the alternate positions for the respective events.[7]
