It would be a nearly impossible task to recount everything that Jack Suman has done for the sport of wrestling. After all, he is considered one of the "Founding Fathers" of the sport here in Florida. After moving to Florida in 1962, Jack started the program at North Palm Beach Sr. High School; where along with Norland, Miami Military,Coral Park and Archbishop Curly, are considered the first wrestling programs in the state of Florida. It would not be the only program he initiated. Jack also started the program at Hialeah-Miami Lakes in 1971. He has over 300 career victories from 1962-1987, and is credited with having the first two Florida wrestlers to earn full wrestling scholarships (Bill Bryson & Frank Forrester, both to Eastern Illinois). In addition to coaching, Jack was an outstanding official, working as an FHSAA Clinician and Official Rules Interpreter from 1964 - 74. He was the first Florida representative to the National Federation of State High Schools Rules Committee from 1978 - 82. He also officiated and helped organize officials for the Sunshine Open in the early 1970's with Ric Tucci and Jack McNeil. He also officiated the International styles, working as the 1976 & 1982 Olympic Regional Trials at Miami-Dade Community College.
