In 1991 she first competed at the national level with Kate Slatter when they contested the Australian women's pair championship title in an AIS composite crew. That same year she won her first national championship titles with Kate Slatter – the open women's coxless four and the women's eight in AIS crews but wearing Canberra Rowing Club colours.

In 1993 she was selected in the New South Wales' state women's coxless four to contest the ULVA Trophy at the Interstate Regatta within the Australian Rowing Championships. She raced in further New South Wales women's coxless fours in 1994 and 1995 and stroked the 1994 crew. In 1996 she stroked an ACT crew selected to compete for the ULVA Trophy.

International representative rowing Marcks' first Australian representative selection came at age eighteen when she was selected in 1990 in the women's junior eight to contest the 1990 Junior World Rowing Championships in Aiguebelette, France. The eight rowed to fourth place. In 1991, only her third year of rowing she was elevated to the Australian senior women's squad and selected in the women's coxless four with Jodie Dobson, Emmy Snook and Kate Slatter to compete at the 1991 World Rowing Championships in Vienna. All four girls doubled up in the Australian women's eight.

With Snook and Dobson changed out for Courtney Johnstone and Gina Douglas, Slatter and Marcks stayed together in the coxless four into 1993 and they competed at the 1993 World Rowing Championships in Racice where again they were last in the A final and achieved a sixth place. 2003: Sport Australia Hall of Fame inductee
