Coach Shane has been the women's cross country coach at BYU since 1980. Since his arrival, Shane has turned the team into one of dominance. With four NCAA Championship titles and three runner-up finishes in the past 20 seasons, Shane has built a team that is nationally recognized as a team to beat every year. Under  Shane's reign, the Cougars have powered their way into the national spotlight winning national championships in 1997, 1999, 2001 and 2002.

In his 36 seasons as coach of the Cougars, the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) has named Shane the National Cross Country Coach of the Year three times, most recently in 2002. In 1997, Shane and his team became the first BYU women's team to win a national title. With four national titles under their feet, the women's cross country team stand alone as the only BYU team to win four national championships.

Since 1981, when the NCAA took over womens athletics, Shane's teams have missed the national meet only four times. Throughout his coaching tenure at BYU, the women's team has finished in the top 10, 19 times and finished in the top 20, 22 times. 

Shane has coached six Olympians and 30 All-American cross country runners (51 total All-America citations). His cross country teams have caught a hold of 24 conference championships.

Since joining the Mountain West Conference in 1999, the Cougars have been the dominant team, winning eight of eleven conference titles.

When Shane took the helm as BYUs womens cross country coach in 1980, he took a team built from scratch and finished first at the AIAW District VII meet. The team went on to take sixth at the AIAW National Championships. Since then, Shane's teams have won 16 District VII Championships (now the Mountain Region as of 2005).

Shane was twice named IAC Coach of the Year, HCAC Coach of the Year four times, District VII Coach of the Year nine times, WAC Coach of the Year six times and MWC Coach of the Year four times. 

In 2011 Shane took charge of the women's track and field program as the new head coach replacing former head coach Craig Poole due to his retirement. During Shane's first year as head coach and the team's last season in the MWC, Shane led the team to first-place finishes during both the indoor and outdoor seasons. He was also named the MWC Indoor and Outdoor Coach of the Year as well as the Mountain Region Outdoor Coach of the Year.

In 2012 BYU competed as the newest member of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) for the indoor season finishing seventh and competed as an independent during the outdoor season. Now in his third year as the women's track head coach, Shane looks to return to familiar territory at the top of the conference standings.

In June 2013 the men's and women's track programs combined and Shane was named an assistant coach.

In addition to his experience at BYU, Shane has spent significant time coaching at national and international competitions. He was selected as the head coach of the USA Junior National Women's Team for the 1995 World Cross Country Championships in Durham, England, as well as the USA National Women's Team for the 1999 World Cross Country Championships in Portugal. In 2008, he was also selected as the head coach of the USA National Women's Track and Field Team for the IAAF World Junior Champions in Poland. Shane is one of the principle authors in development of the USA Track and Field Coaching Education Program.

Shane is married to Karey, and they are the parents of seven children.
