In Track, he shattered many school records before being named to the All Citrus Belt League Conference team. Marshall also competed in the High Jump and Long Jump competitions while at RCC.
Marshall has lived in Riverside his entire life and has contributed immensely to the Eastside community and the greater Riverside community as well. Early on, he had an understanding of the importance of giving back to his community and demonstrated that belief by being a volunteer coach and positive role model for 25 years in Little League Baseball at Patterson Park and for Riverside Junior Tackle Football. During this time, Marshall has helped countless young people to achieve their individual and team goals through education and athletics.
