Erika Boggio, Volleyball, 1989-93

On a volleyball team loaded with stars, Erika Boggio shone as brightly as all the rest. A member of a perennial top-10 program, Boggio was an outside hitter for the 1992 National Champion Vikings. From 1989-1993, Boggio and the Vikings were a perennial top-10 program with four finishes among the top four in the nation while compiling an overall record of 172-34. Her teams finished top four in the nation during her four years on the Park Blocks while compiling a 138-20 record overall. A two-time All-Region pick, Boggio was named a second team All-American in 1992 and a first team All-American in 1993. Boggio completed her career with 999 kills, including 524 in 1992. Originally from Billings, MT, Boggio also competed in basketball at Portland State. She was previously inducted in the Portland State Athletics Hall of Fame in 2008 as part of the 1992 National Championship team.
 

Zach Brown, Football, 2009-12

When it came to kicking, Zach Brown was simply the best. Recruited from Keizer's McNary High School, Brown became a major offensive weapon for the Vikings with his foot. As a junior, in 2011, he led the nation by converting 24 of 27 field goals. He was a consensus first-team All-American after being selected to five different teams, as well as a Fred Mitchell Award finalist for the top kicker in the nation at any level. And though his senior season was cut in half by an injury on a late hit, Big Sky Conference coaches still recognized him with honorable mention All-League. In all, Brown was named All-Big Sky twice, honorable mention twice, and was a six-time Big Sky Special Teams Player of the Week. He converted a school-record 64 field goals and would have had a shot at the Big Sky record (76) if not for his injury. Brown held 10 school records when he graduated, including field goals in a season and a career, field goal percentage in season (.889) and a career (.753), consecutive field goals made (16), most 50+ yard field goals (6), consecutive PATs (44), and scoring in a season (99) and a career (280) as a kicker. Brown appeared in two post-season college all-star games including the East-West Shrine Game.
 

Rashad Floyd, Football/Basketball, 1997-2000

A star defensive player on Portland State's first Division I playoff team, Rashad Floyd was a playmaker on defense. Floyd was a two-time first team All-Big Sky Conference selection and a second team All-American as a senior. During his career, the native of Oakland made 16 interceptions (third-most in PSU history) and had a school-record 33 pass breakups. Floyd's signature game was in a 42-10 win at Northern Arizona as he returned a fumble 87 yards for a touchdown and an interception 42 yards for touchdown. Not surprisingly, he was named Big Sky Conference Player of the Week. A versatile athlete, Floyd returned kicks, punts and occasionally lined up at wide receiver. He also played basketball for the Vikings for two seasons. Floyd went on to an All-Star career in the Arena Football League following his time at Portland State. He joins his wife, Kiauna (Anderson) Floyd (softball, 2014 inductee), in the Portland State Athletics Hall of Fame.
 

Ed Gorman, Three-Sport Athlete, 1965-68

In an era before specialization, Ed Gorman could do it all, starring in football, basketball and baseball for the Portland State Vikings. As a football player, Gorman was a two-time team Most Valuable Player. He finished his career with 11 PSU offensive records, holding the single-game, season and career records for passing yards, total offense, passing touchdowns, and pass completions. He ranked in the top 10 nationally within the NCAA College Division for passing yardage and total offense in 1967, earning little All-Northwest honorable mention. Gorman was a starter on the basketball team for three seasons, playing on the 1966-67 team that made the NCAA College Division Far West Regionals. As a baseball player he led the team in wins (7), ERA (2.06) and strikeouts (59) during his freshman year, leading the team to an Oregon Collegiate Conference (OCC) Championship. He was named to the OCC and NAIA District 2 All-Star teams and named an honorable mention All-American. Arm trouble moved him to first base for most of the remainder of his career, but his two hits in the 1967 NCAA College Division Pacific Coast Regional Championship game led the Vikings to a 13-4 win over Puget Sound. Originally from Portland's North Catholic High School, Gorman was named Portland State Athlete of the Year in 1967-68. In 1968, then-football coach Don Read called Gorman, "the finest athlete ever to compete at Portland State." Then-basketball coach Merion Pericin said, "he's proved to me that he's the greatest all-around athlete in this school."
 

Mandy Hill, Softball, 2005-08

A two-way player for the Portland State softball team, Mandy Hill excelled on the mound and at the plate. She was the only four-time All-Pacific Coast Softball Conference selection and she was chosen as PCSC Pitcher or Player of the Week eight times during her career. At the plate, Hill completed her PSU career second all-time in home runs (31) and first in runs batted in (135). She hit a PSU single-season record 12 home runs in 2006 and had a .604 slugging percentage. Hill followed that with 11 home runs in 2007. The Battleground, WA native was perhaps more impressive as a pitcher. Hill tossed a no-hitter as a freshman, then went 24-7 as a sophomore and was named the PCSC Pitcher of the Year while leading the team to their first-ever NCAA Division I Tournament appearance. While a junior, Hill appeared in a record 49 games with 35 starts, 33 complete games and eight shutouts. She struck out 205 batters. Hill completed her pitching career second all-time in wins (67), appearances (147) and innings pitched (815.1). Simply put, Hill was dominant, leading the team in wins, earned run average, innings pitched, strikeouts and shutouts for two seasons, while leading the team in home runs twice and runs batted in three times.
 

Genna Settle, Track and Field, 2014-17

Genna Settle put together one of the single-best track & field seasons in Big Sky Conference history. As a senior in 2017, Settle swept the indoor 60- and 200-meter titles at the Big Sky Indoor Championships in February, then followed by sweeping the outdoor 100- and 200-meter titles at the Big Sky Outdoor Championships in May. Only two other athletes in conference history had accomplished that previously including Portland State's own Jernise Saunders. Adding Settle's outdoor 100-meter title in 2016 to the four she earned as a senior, she finished with the second-most individual conference titles (5) in program history. Additionally, her 59 career points individually at the Big Sky Outdoor Championships are the most of any Viking – male or female – while her 105 combined points between the Big Sky Indoor and Outdoor championships rank tied for second all-time. At the national level, Settle qualified for the NCAA West Prelims – the first round of the NCAA Outdoor Championships – six times. That includes three qualifications in the 100 meters (2014, 2016, 2017), two in the 4x100-meter relay (2014, 2015) and one in the 200 meters (2016). As a result, she's the only four-time USTFCCCA All-Academic honoree in program history. She also left Portland State with the school records in the indoor and outdoor 200 meters. She held the Big Sky Conference and championship meet records in the indoor 200 meters at the time of her graduation. Additionally, Settle was part of school records in the 4x100 and 4x400 relays in 2015 and 2016, respectively, as well as a Big Sky championship meet record in the 4x100.
