Shelby Houlihan Recaps Winning SILVER At The 2025 World Indoor Championships In China | Inside Her Comeback: Training, Mindset, Sponsor, & More
A setback is a setup for a comeback.
For Shelby Houlihan, this comeback is nothing short of remarkable. After her suspension was lifted on January 15, 2025, she wasted no time making her mark.
At the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Nanjing, China, Houlihan blazed through the 3,000m, clinching silver with an impressive 8:38.26 finish. This performance sends a clear message: Houlihan is back, and she's here to dominate.
In February 2025, Shelby won the indoor 3,000 meters at the Razorback Invitational in Arkansas with a time of 8:31.56. She also finished second in the 3,000 meters at the U.S. trials, qualifying her for the World Indoor Championships.
Shelby is a 13x US National Champion, a 2016 Olympian, and the outdoor American Record Holder in the 1500m, where she ran that in the 2019 World Championships in Doha, placing fourth. She is also a World-Record Holder in the Women's4x1500m. She holds PRs of 1:59.92 (800m), 3:54.99 (1500m), and 14:23.92 in the 5k.
In college, she was the first student at Arizona State University to win a national individual title in the outdoor 1,500. Shelby was a 12-time NCAA Division I All-American, the second most in Arizona State history, and an NCAA Track champion.
In today's conversation, Shelby takes me through each of her 2025 races, how she's been training, inside the progress of getting a sponsor, her mindset going into the outdoor season and the rest of her career, her silver medal at Worlds, and so much more.
