Biography

Marshall is from Arlington, Texas where she attended Seguin High School, competing in volleyball and track and field. At Seguin, she set the high school national record in the 55 m and 60 m hurdles, and she was a multiple-time New Balance Indoor Nationals champion in the hurdles. [2]

Marshall's most notable prep victory was at the 2016 New Balance Indoor Nationals in New York, where she was the favorite heading in to the competition. She put together the most impressive three rounds in meeting history, as her first round time was only 0.05 seconds off the national record followed by an 8.08-second national record in the semi-finals and a further improvement of 8.02 seconds in the finals. [3]

From 2017 to 2021, Marshall competed as a member of the LSU Lady Tigers track and field program. She made three individual NCAA Championship finals, with a best performance of 3rd at the 2019 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships. [4]

At the 2019 NACAC U23 Championships, Marshall won the gold medal in the 100 m hurdles in a personal best and championship record time of 12.57 seconds, which was also an LSU school record. [5] The performance was advantaged by the 1,800 metres of elevation in Queretaro providing thinner air for sprinting, allowing for the second-place finisher Chanel Brissett to also break the old meeting record. [6]

Marshall came her closest to making an Olympic team at the 2021 United States Olympic trials, qualifying for the finals and placing 6th. Despite dealing with a left hamstring injury, Marshall took an early lead in the Trials finals but finished 0.1 second outside of the top three required for selection to the 2021 U.S. team. [7]

In 2022, Marshall also competed at the NACAC senior championships, where she won her qualifying heat and finished 4th in the finals. [8]

Marshall achieved her first senior national medal at the 2023 USA Indoor Track and Field Championships, finishing 2nd in the 60 m hurdles behind only Alaysha Johnson. The two were even through all five hurdles, but Marshall lost the title by a lean from Johnson, taking the silver by just 0.02 seconds in a new personal best of 7.85. [9]
