Oklahoma State has countless footnotes in the history of the sport of wrestling. It’s no secret to people surrounding the sport or university as they’ve all likely heard bits and pieces about the legacy of the program in one way or another.
One footnote in the history of the program that we don’t often hear discussed is Harold DeMarsh, the first-ever NCAA tournament champion.
According to his obituary, DeMarsh was born into a family a five and lived in the Tulsa area for a bit before his father disappeared and was never seen or heard from again.
