Christine Marshall, a native of Newport News, Virginia, finished her career as one of the most decorated swimmers in A&M history. She is tied for fourth all-time in total All-America honors, amassing 19 over her four years in Aggieland. The All-American also helped add 13 Big 12 Championships to the program’s trophy case.

At the 2007 Big 12 Conference Championships, Marshall earned Swimmer of the Meet recognition, while leading the Aggies to their first conference championship. She set school records in the 200 IM and the 200 butterfly, and she contributed to school records in the 200, 400 and 800 free relays and the 400 medley relays. When she left Texas A&M, Marshall ranked in the top 10 in school history in six different events.

In 2008, Marshall became the first Aggie to earn a spot on the U.S. Olympic Team. Her leadoff leg of the 800 free relay prelims at the Olympic Games set an American record. During the games, she also became the first Aggie to medal for Team USA, earning bronze as a member of the 800-meter freestyle relay team.
