Historic Speed at Incline High
May 13, 2026 | Member Submitted
Incline High School sophomore Shelby Erikson made history on April 4th at the Stanford Invitational, breaking a 41-year-old school record in the 400 meters with a time of 56.73. The previous mark of 56.90 had stood since 1985—one of the oldest records in school history.
Her performance now ranks as the second fastest in Nevada this season, currently ahead of Alyssa Dixon of Galena High School—a remarkable achievement for a sophomore competing out of a small mountain school.
Shelby’s resume is already extraordinary. She holds Incline High records in the 200m, 800m, and 1600m, plus both medley relays, and won three individual state titles as a freshman.
With regionals (May 8–9) and state (May 15–16) ahead, all eyes are on what she’ll do next.
A historic record has fallen—and Shelby Erikson is just getting started.
