A survivor of the nation's worst high school shooting incident, Shaw will run at the NCAA West Regional meet
The horrific event Isaiah Shaw lived through on Feb. 14, 2018 is not the reason he was able to run the fastest 400-meter time by a Cal athlete in the 39 years at the Pac-12 Track and Field Championships.Shaw ran the second-fastest time in program history 10 days ago when he clocked 45.51 seconds for the one-lap race at the Pac-12 championships in Boulder, Colo.
“I believe he can break 45,” Harrison said. And if Shaw qualifies for the nationals? “I’d cry,” the coach said. “They know how I am about high-end performances, I get emotional. I cried when he ran the 45.51 . . . I just didn’t tell nobody.” He has made dramatic progress through a disciplined approach to training on and off the track, including weight lifting, diet and sleep.
“I remember the day perfectly,” he said. “We were giving presentations on history projects. I remember right in the middle, the fire alarm went off. We go down to the far end of the building where the stairwell is . . . and I remember some of my fellow students running back out of the stairwell.Students were quickly ushered back toward their room. “I was one of the last people to get to the classroom,” Shaw said, “and I remember seeing the gunman coming up through the door of the stairwell.
Although the episode was over fairly quickly, Shaw said he and classmates were kept in their class for close to an hour until they were released by SWAT officers.
