Northwest's Shaw makes all-region

Northwest Missouri State track and field senior Tyler Shaw added to his lengthy honors Thursday earning All-Region accolades announced by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) for the 2013 indoor season.

Shaw earned his fourth trip to the NCAA Division II Indoor Track and Field Championships in the 60-meter hurdles earlier this week. The St. Louis native will be searching for his first national championship in the event after a runner-up finish in 2009, a sixth place finish in 2010 and a fourth place finish in 2011.

A total of 1,061 student-athletes have earned a total of 1,574 USTFCCCA All-Region honors. The USTFCCCA regions for track & field match those used for NCAA Cross Country Championships.

The championships will be held March 7-9 in Birmingham, Ala. at the Birmingham CrossPlex as part of the 2013 NCAA Division II National Championships Festival.
