Shackell had a down year in 2025, fading in the national final of her main event, fading from second to fourth on the final length, but she has positioned herself for a rebound this year.

The 19-year-old touched in 2:07.37, more than a second clear of world junior champion <strong>Audrey Derivaux<\/strong>. The time made Shackell the second-fastest U.S. woman thus far in 2026 behind American-record holder <strong>Regan Smith<\/strong>, with Derivaux and <strong>Lindsay Looney<\/strong> the only others to go below 2:08.<\/p>\n<p>The back half of the race saw Derivaux distinguish herself from the field to touch in 2:08.56 for second while <strong>Tess Howley<\/strong> pulled away from teenager\u00a0<strong>Ellie Clarke<\/strong> to finish third, 2:09.51 to 2:09.84.
