SAN FRANCISCO – To cap the end of a historic and memorable season, Arizona State wrestling sweeps top Pac-12 accolades as Zahid Valencia has been named both Pac-12 Wrestler of the Year and Freshman/Newcomer of the Year. Head coach Zeke Jones has also been named Coach of the Year.
This marks the first time in conference history that a wrestler has claimed both Wrestler and Freshman/Newcomer of the Year honors in the same season.
