Her honors include three time Olympian (4th in the 2016 Olympics), two-time World Bronze Medalist, American & World Record Holder, and a top-10 World ranking for almost a decade.
Shannon is also the co-founder of Imagining More, a non-profit organization that promotes arts and athletics amongst young women, and she is a member of the PA/USATF Foundation Board of Directors. Most recently she was selected by the US Department of State to serve as a Sport Envoy to Morocco.
A Duke University alumni, Shannon graduated magna cum laude in 2006 with a BA in English, Theater and Film Studies, and in 2008 went on to receive her Master’s Degree in the Humanities. She recently earned a General Management Certificate from Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth.
