Reporter 1
As we were about to pass 10,000 ft. We had a wake turbulence encounter that was substantial enough to distract me from my altitude awareness and speed at the time. I was focused on the aircraft I was following and discussed the issue with the First Officer and missed that I was well over 250 kts in level change. Once I noticed I took immediate action to correct the speed. No contact from ATC regarding the issue.

During descent into CVG, airspeed exceeded 250 below 10,000. Aircrew recognized and corrected crossing BAMGE fix at 7,000.
