Shawn entered her first serious competition aged 12 when she entered the Junior Olympics National Championships ranking fourth, finishing second on floor and winning the beam.

In 2006, Shawn won the US Junior National All-Round Championship, scoring better than even the senior elite competitors.
In 2007 Shawn began competing as a senior, and won the American Cup, and four gold medals at the Pan American Games. The same year saw her win the Visa US National Championships, and Shawn went on to represent the US in the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, the only US athlete to play all four events for the team: floor, beam, vault and bars. The American team won gold, for the second time in the country’s history.
On 1 March 2008, Shawn competed in the American Cup finishing second, and a week later helped the US team win a championship in Jesolo, Venice, Italy. On 7 June, Shawn won the US Visa Championship and on 21 June the Olympic Trials organized in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
