Darryl Shaw: His Hero Beyond the Track

Posted Sep 30, 2018
Darryl Shaw is no stranger to adversity. After a serious ankle injury left the two-time All-ACC student-athlete unable to compete on UNC's track team last year, Shaw was forced to step away and focus on his recovery. Finally cleared and ready to compete for his senior year, Shaw is more motivated than ever going into the season. One of the biggest motivators? His father. (GoHeels.com)
