“I am excited to announce my verbal commitment to further my academic and athletic career at Purdue University! Thank you to my family, coaches and teammates for helping me get to where I am today. Boiler up!”

Shaw competed at the 2019 Ohio MAKO Senior Circuit in in March, finishing in the top eight in the 200 and 400 IM, and the 200 fly and 1650. His second-place performance in the 200 IM qualified him for the 2019 Futures meet. Similarly, he finished third in the 1650, qualifying for another 2019 Futures event.

During his junior year at Dublin Coffman High School, Shaw competed at the Central, East and Southeast District Meet. There, he swam the 200 and 500 free, placing fourth and third, respectively. His 200 free time was three seconds faster than what he had gone the previous week at the Central District Sectionals, and his 500 was ten seconds faster. His time of 4:33.91 qualified him for a third event at the 2019 Futures meet.

Shaw has made significant progress in his main events over the last year. The progression in his SCY times is:
