TROY — Michael Shaw gave spectators a taste of what he can do at the Division I district track meet.

He hopes his wins in the 100- and 200-meter prelims on Tuesday, May 20, won't be the last of his career.

That may be decided today.

The Trotwood-Madison High School senior, headed to the University of Michigan on a football scholarship, ran 10.75 and 22.02. He did not run in relays.

Recently declared ineligible by the Ohio High School Athletic Association, Shaw's attorney was granted a temporary restraining order, allowing Shaw to run.

At issue is whether Shaw and his family established residency in Trotwood through falsified means. Shaw transferred from Alter to Trotwood midway through his junior year.

"That's all we could do," Trotwood coach John McKinney said. "with the rulings and the way they're talking about this, that and the other, (possible) disqualifications and all that with the relays."

Shaw was the top qualifier for Friday's district finals. To get a chance to compete again, his lawyer may need a favorable ruling at today's 9 a.m. hearing in front of Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas magistrate Bob Cowdrey.

Shaw had no comment. He last ran April 26 in Michigan.

Meet officials were told to notify the 9th-place prelim finishers in Shaw's events to be ready for Friday in case Shaw doesn't run.
