One of the most accomplished U.S. track athletes of all time, Shannon's career longevity is unmatched. Shannon is a 3x Olympian, Olympic Bronze Medalist, 2x World Bronze Medalist, World Record holder (DMR), and American Record holder at three distances (1500m, 2 miles, 5000m). Ranked in the world's top 10 for over a decade, Shannon made history at the London 2012 Games as the first American woman ever to medal in the Olympic 1500m.
Shannon is also an Emmy Award winner, recognized for her work in sports broadcasting and storytelling. She has served as a broadcaster and in-stadium announcer for CBS, World Athletics, USA Track & Field, and the NCAA, and in 2024 she made her NBC Sports debut as a Track & Field analyst for the Paris Olympics.
Beyond sport, Shannon is the co-founder of Imagining More, a nonprofit that promotes arts and athletics for youth. She was selected by the U.S. Department of State as a Sports Envoy to Morocco on the topic of Women's Empowerment Through Sport.
A Duke University alum, Shannon graduated magna cum laude with a B.A. in English, Theater & Film Studies, and later earned her Master's cum laude in the Humanities. She also holds executive certificates from Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business (Next Step), Harvard Business School (Crossover to Business), and IMD (Innovation in Action).
Shannon lives with her husband, Pablo, and their two children in her hometown of San Francisco, CA.
