Jack Lamson is his own toughest critic. He's also intensely driven.

That's why, despite serious bouts of adversity, his standard remains the same.

"The kid is tough as nails," Jordan-Elbridge wrestling coach Mike Nguyen said.

He needed to be.

In his junior season as a member of Jordan-Elbridge's combined program with Cato-Meridian, Port Byron and Union Springs - Lamson is a student at Cato-Meridian - the 138-pounder won the Section III, Division II championship in his weight class and later placed eighth at the New York state championships.

The achievement was more poignant considering Lamson was diagnosed with Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy, an eye disease that causes sudden blindness in one or both eyes, during the season.
