    Portland State wrestlers earn Pac-10 All-Academic honors

    After not having any Pac-10 All-Academic honorees for the 2006-07 season, the Viking wrestling program had a trio of sophomores earn All-Academic accolades, Monday.

    Steven Dailey, the 157-pound grappler, was named to the first team, 285-pound wrestler Zack Smith earned second-team honors, and 197-pound Keena Washington nabbed honorable mention accolades.

    Dailey had an overall record of 1-6 this past season. His win came at the hands of Weston Blasius of South Dakota State, 4-1. Dailey has the highest GPA on the Pac-10 All-Academic roster with a perfect 4.0 (on a 4.0 scale). The Tulsa, Okla. native is majoring in Science. He is the son of Rick and Marilyn Dailey.

    Smith wrestled in every 285-pound match this past season and tallied a 6-20 record. He has earned a 3.56 GPA, while majoring in Criminology & Criminal Justice. The Graham, Wash. native is the son of Michael Smith and Kim Goddard.

    Washington managed a 2-10 record in 2008. His two wins came while he was competing at the Cal State-Fullerton Open. He defeated Arizona's Kevin Gressley and Pima CC's Nicholas Richardson. Washington has earned a 3.14 GPA in School Health. Keena is from Lakewood, Wash. and is the son of Crosby and Kyong Washington.

    To be eligible for the Pac-10 All-Academic selection, a student-athlete must have a minimum 3.0 overall grade-point average and be either a starter or significant contributor.
