Bucknell has had some outstanding women's distance runners through the years, and Becki Marshall Rosenfeldt was one of the best. Marshall crossed the finish line first at the Patriot League Women's Cross Country Championship in 1999, 2000 and 2001. Combined with former teammate and fellow Hall-of-Famer Julie Sweitzer's titles in 1997 and 1998, Bucknell claimed the conference women's cross country champion five years in a row.
Marshall was named to the Patriot League Women's Cross Country All-Decade Team in 2000 - following her sophomore year - and then to the league's 25th Anniversary team in 2015. Marshall helped lead the Bison to four straight Patriot League cross country team titles, and in 1999 she was the No. 1 runner as Bucknell qualified as a team for the NCAA Championship for the first time in program history. She was an All-Region honoree that year on the way to the NCAA meet.
Marshall also starred on the track, where she captured Patriot League gold medals in the 1,500 and 5,000 meters as well as the distance medley relay. She earned All-Patriot League honors three times each indoors and outdoors, and she was a part of seven Patriot League championship squads in track and field. She became the first Bucknell woman to break 17 minutes in the 5,000-meter run, when she smashed the school record by more than 10 seconds at the 2001 Penn Relays.
Marshall is also one of the most decorated scholar-athletes in Bucknell history. She won four Patriot League Scholar-Athlete of the Year citations, including three in cross country, and in 2001 she was named the league's overall Scholar-Athlete of the Year for all sports. Marshall was also a national Academic All-America Third Team selection in 2002.
