Shane Showalter is entering his seventh season as head coach of the CSU-Pueblo softball team.

Under Showalter's direction, the ThunderWolves have become a consistent player for an RMAC Championship year in and year out.  The ThunderWolves completed two straight seasons finishing as the runner-up in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Tournament in 2006 and 2007. In 2007, the ThunderWolves got hot at the right time, turing a sixth place regular season finish into a near-RMAC Championship, losing 5-3 to Western New Mexico and missing out on a berth in the NCAA Division II Regional Tournament.

In 2006, the ThunderWolves turned in a 29-20 record, the team's best mark since the 2001 team went 52-14. The ThunderWolves finished that season just one-step short of the RMAC Championship, losing to Regis in the conference championship.

Showalter's commitment to player development has things looking up for the T-Wolves. Showalter's players have earned 14 All-Conference honors, including six first-team selections and two RMAC Players of the Year. The 2005 squad recorded the high-water mark, earning four All-RMAC selections.

Prior to joining the ThunderWolves' staff, Showalter was the head coach at Division III Colorado College in Colorado Springs. Prior to that, he was an assistant coach at Adams State.

Showalter earned both his bachelor's (Sports and Exercise Management) and master's (Exercise Physiology) at Adams State.

He and his wife of four years, Monique, have a daughter, Maison. The family resides in Pueblo.
