Besides being the largest wrestling tournament in the world, the ASICS-Vaughan Junior and Cadet Nationals attracts wrestling people from all levels. No single wrestling event, except for the NCAA Div. I Championships, brings together more well known wrestling people at one place at the same time.    Consider all of the former wrestling greats that have donated their time and energy to invest in the stars of the future as coaches of state teams. One such hero is World and Olympic champion Kenny Monday, who is working with the Texas team. Could you imagine being a high school kid and having Kenny Monday in your corner?    The 1996 Olympic Greco-Roman head coach Rob Hermann is working as a coach for Team Louisiana. Then there is Olympian Andy Seras, this year's Greco-Roman World Coach, who is coaching athletes from Connecticut.     Then there is Sean Bormet, former NCAA and Olympic Trials finalist, working with Team Illinois. Another Illinois coach is Eric Wetzel, longtime Greco-Roman Team USA member. Both Bormet and Wetzel coach youth wrestling year-round in Illinois. What about Steve Martin, former Univ. of Iowa wrestler from "the" Martin family, who coaches with the Virginia team?    How about Jim Humphrey, the 1988 Olympic freestyle head coach, working with his son and the Indiana team? Then there is 1996 Greco-Roman Olympian Gordy Morgan, who has a new job this year as the state freestyle coach for Minnesota.    The Pennsylvania team is loaded with former star athletes and coaches. Among the coaches are Ray Brinzer and John Hughes, who were standout youth wrestlers in Pennsylvania. Hughes won a NCAA title for Penn State, and Brinzer was a flamboyant star at Oklahoma State and the Univ. of Iowa. Then there is Lehigh wrestling coach Greg Strobel, a 2000 Olympic  freestyle co-head coach, who is also working with the Keystone athletes.    One of the coaches of the Wisconsin team is Terry Steiner, who will begin his new full-time job as USA Wrestling's first National Women's Coach in August. In addition to coaching the Wisconsin kids, Steiner will be paying close attention to the first Junior Nationals for girls, which will feature a number of talented athletes who may compete someday for one of Steiner's World or Olympic teams.     Another of the coaches for Wisconsin is even more famous than Steiner, two-time Olympic medalist John Peterson, the 1976 Olympic champion and 1972 Olympic silver medalist.    The Sanderson family is quite visible, as father Steve is one of the coaches for Team Utah, and son Cyler is participating in the Cadet Championships. Then there is that other son, Cael, the one who is in the newspapers all the time. Sanderson, the only undefeated four-time NCAA champion, made an appearance for ASICS, one of his sponsors, during a break in the wrestling action. Among the many items that he was signing during the appearance was his Wheaties box, which has become a major collectors item.    There was also a Bruce Baumgartner sighting. The four-time Olympic medalist, and current USA Wrestling president, made time to see the Juniors and Cadets for the last time as the president. Baumgartner's term as president ends in a few weeks as a new president will be elected at USA Wrestling's Board of Directors meeting in August. Stan Dziedzic, World champion and Olympic medalist and a USA Wrestling Board member, arrived in Fargo today.    And those are just some of the people seen walking on the floor in the FargoDome. Many other wrestling legends, who happen to also be college wrestling coaches, are up in the stands, attending the most important recruiting event in wrestling each year.    OTHER NOTES...    Although she has yet to arrive, we are told one of the coaches for the New York Junior girls team will be Kristie Marano, a World champion and five-time World medalist. Marano will be taking a break from her coaching duties on Saturday to compete in a Special Wrestle-off for the U.S. World Team at 147.5 pounds against Katie Downing. Under new USA Wrestling rules, Marano, who was second at the Olympic 138.75-pound class to Sara McMann, may challenge at one of the non-Olympic weights for a spot on the U.S. team.      Concerning World Team coach Andy Seras, he has passed on the word that he will soon be named as the new head coach at Sacred Heart Univ., a Div. I wrestling team in Connecticut where he has worked as an assistant for a number of years.     Not every person donating time at this event is well known, but all of them are appreciated for giving back to the sport. One such story is Akil Patterson, who was a Maryland Junior National All-American here in Fargo at heavyweight a  year ago. These days, Patterson is a scholarship football player at the Univ. of Maryland. Even though he is no longer wrestling, Patterson is using his last few days before summer football camp starts on August 8 to serve as a referee at the Junior/Cadet Nationals. He has done a number of USA Wrestling events this spring, including the Northeast Regionals. Today, Patterson was working on Mat 1, the raised platform mat, and literally towers over most of the athletes for whom he officiates. The white shirt he is wearing for officiating is his Univ. of Maryland Orange Bowl polo.    One of the top college wrestling recruits, and a favorite for the Junior freestyle title, was injured in his first bout. Matt Herrington of New York, who set the national record for most career high school wrestling wins, injured his shoulder in a tough bout with Jack Jensen of Wisconsin at 171 pounds. Herrington was assisted off the mat, and Jensen won the bout by injury default. Herrington will be attending the Univ. of Pennsylvania this fall. Jensen has been living in Colorado Springs, Colo. and training at the U.S. Olympic Training Center working out daily with the Olympic-caliber resident athletes. The word from Penn  coach Roger Reina is that the injury to Herrington is not serious, but will keep him from completing the freestyle event. Herrington was the Greco-Roman champion on Tuesday night.    The tournament has become so big this year that between the Cadet and Junior sessions today, they added an additional mat to help speed up the tournament flow. Mat Number 24 was added near the head table, helping tournament officials to get more matches called to deal with the record number of entries.    Leo Kocher, the head coach at the Univ. of Chicago, is one of America's top experts on the Title IX issue. While watching the Cadet division today, Kocher was typing his next Title IX column for W.I.N. magazine. Kocher has been interviewed on major national television many times recently, discussing how Title IX proportionality quotas have severely damaged college sports opportunities for men.    And just think, it's only Thursday. There are two more full days to come...
