Lasater becomes SF's first

Aaron Lasater thought it was all over, as he walked out the doors of the State Fair Arena at the Oklahoma High School Wrestling Championships in February. The former Edmond Santa Fe wrestling star did not have any plans to wrestle in college, and figured his wrestling days were long gone.
That was until a few weeks ago when he got a call from former Santa Fe head coach Greg George. Lasater was informed that he was the first wrestler in school history to be selected to the All-State wrestling team.
“It’s an honor to be selected, it’s something a lot of people work for, and I was surprised I was picked,” Lasater said.
While excited, Lasater was also a little worried about how well he’d fare, after a nearly five-month layoff. He’s spent the past few weeks working out with other All-State wrestlers at Del City High School.
“I was so out of shape, I just took it easy since wrestling was over, I got that call and it was like oh dang,” Lasater said.
Lasater finished a strong high school career with his second straight trip to the Class 5A State Tournament. Lasater battled through the first day of competition at state, but was eliminated after losing to Westmoore’s Beau Gastineau 2-1. As a senior, Lasater finished with a 36-12 record, and led the team with 24 falls.
Lasater said he expects to compete at 215-pounds, but could be bumped up to heavyweight if necessary. The East squad is scheduled to have Ponca City’s Reno Redleaf wrestle at 215, and Jenks’ Eric Marshall compete at heavyweight.
“I’m pretty positive I’m doing 215, that’s what the coaches are telling me, but either way I’m ready for it,” Lasater said.
The All-State Wrestling Meet will take place on Monday at 8:30 p.m. at Norman High School.
