Compiling a 3-2 record at the ASICS/Vaughan Cadet National Wrestling Championships would be an impressive feat for almost any high school wrestler.  For Dan Light, 15 years old, of Team Ohio, it is a remarkable accomplishment.  Light, a sophomore in high school, is legally blind.    Wrestling at 119 lbs., Light is competing with some of the top high school Greco-Roman wrestlers in the country, and he is holding his own.      Equally impressive is the fact that while many of his sighted counterparts have been wrestling for most of their childhood lives, this is only Light's fourth year of competing.  Last year, in his first trip to the national championships, he finished 2-2 as a freestyle competitor.    In his first bout at the 2002 Cadet Nationals in Fargo, N.D., Light lost in overtime to Dallas Seavey of Alaska, 4-2.  Dan rallied in his second bout against Dustin Nagel of North Dakota to pull off an 8-7 victory in the final seconds of the match. He dominated his third and fourth bouts beating Tony Martinez (Virginia), 7-1 and pinning Colt Warren (Washington) in under two minutes before losing his final bout to Billy Exline of California, 4-2    Watching Light compete, most people do not even notice his impairment.  He wrestles aggresively with a seemingly uncanny sense of his position on the mat. The only difference is that every time contact is broken between him and his opponent, the official stops the clock and leads Light back to the center of the mat, where the competition resumes.    On the sidelines, Light's coaches give him constant encouragement, calling out frequently the score and remaining time.    "I can't say enough positive things about Dan," expressed Don Vondruska, Light's coach. "Without ever having worked with a blind athlete before, I admit that when he first asked me to be his personal coach, I was a little uncertain if I would be able to help him.  But he is so coachable and works so hard. I have enjoyed every minute of it."    Coach Vondruska's face was beaming with pride and he talked passionately about working with Light.  The bond between the two of them is strong, and it is obvious.     Without sight, Light is forced to train in a different way than the rest of his teammates.  He cannot go on long runs outside, nor can he play many of the more enjoyable conditioning games. Coaches must also be more articulate and precise while helping Light with his wrestling technique.      "A lot of times, while the rest of the team does a fun activity, I'll run laps around the room with a friend," said Light.  "I also do a lot of weightlifting."    Light's parents, Randy and Janet Light, are very supportive of his wrestling.  His father, a former wrestler for Cleveland State, encouraged him to start wrestling.  Dan's younger brother Josh, 14 years old, is also a wrestler.       While he has wrestled all three styles - Greco-Roman, freestyle, and folkstyle -Light says his true passion is folkstyle.    Next fall, Light will be a sophomore at Cleveland's St. Edward's High School, traditionally a wrestling powerhouse.  After going to the Ohio state championships as an alternate this year, missing qualification by one point, he has high expectations for the rest of his wrestling career.       "My goal is to be a three-time state champion," said Light.  "After that, I would really like to wrestle at the University of Michigan and eventually graduate from law school there."    Unable to see his opponent, the score, or the clock, Dan Light faces unbelievable challenges as a wrestler.  But Light's philosophy is reminiscent of Tom Hank's words in A League of Their Own: "If it was easy, everyone would do it.  The hard is what makes it great."    "I like the challenge of wrestling," asserts Light.  "That's exactly what makes it fun for me."
