Shanosky recently represented his country at the 2010 Milk Cup in Northern Ireland. The United States defeated the host nation in this prestigious competition, with Shanosky starting the first two matches of the tournament against China and Norway. In the Milk Cup final, Shanosky came on as a substitute and made his impact felt in the United States' triumph.

During his noteworthy high school career with Potomac Falls, Shanosky acquired numerous accolades including 2009 All-State, All-Region, and All-District honors. The gritty player has featured as a defensive midfielder and central defender for the Black-and-Red. He has been training with United's first team for the last two months, bolstering the club's roster in practice scenarios. Shanosky will continue to train with United's first team, however, he will not be eligible for selection until the 2011 season.
