Amongst some much bigger schools, Reeltown’s Eric Shaw continued to make his presence known. He claimed first place in both events he competed in at Saturday’s Auburn Early Bird meet.

In the 110 hurdles, Shaw raced to the finish in 15.53, which was a full three-tenths of a second ahead of runner up Justin Shorter, of Opelika. Shaw also tied with a pair of Bulldogs in the high jump by clearing 6-2 but he did so in fewer attempts than the two Opelika jumpers.
