Eric Shauwn Brazas Cray (born November 11, 1988) is a Filipino American track and field athlete who competes in sprinting and hurdling events. He represented his country at the 2013 World Championships in Athletics, competing in the hurdles.^[1] He won gold medals at the Southeast Asian Games in 2013 and 2015. Cray currently holds the Filipino national record for the 400 metres hurdles and 100 metres.

Cray was born in Olongapo City in Zambales to a Filipina mother and an American father.

He began the sport back when he was in high school at James Madison High School in San Antonio, Tx. He has a degree in Education at Bethune-Cookman University and a master's degree in Human Relations at University of Oklahoma.^[2]

He set a new national record and games record in the 400 m hurdles while winning at the 2015 Southeast Asian Games, setting a time of 49.40 seconds.^[3]^[4] Cray managed to win a bronze at the 60 m event at the 2016 Asian Indoor Athletics Championships.^[5] While he only finished seventh in the 400 m hurdles semifinals at the 2016 Summer Olympics with a time of 49.37 seconds, which itself already broke his national and Southeast Asian Games record, he set a better record earlier during the Heat 4 qualifying event with a time of 49.05.
