Many of us plan to go out for a picnic ... host a backyard barbeque ... or chill out by the pool. Perhaps take in a parade.
Nick Suriano is grand marshal of a Fourth of July parade"My mom used to take me with my grandparents when I was 5 years old," Suriano told NorthJersey.com. "It's cool to be in it, and I know my family is happy. It's a really great honor."
In addition to naming Suriano as parade grand marshal, Paramus is honoring the 2019 NCAA 133-pound champ for the Scarlet Knights with a sign to honor him. Initially the red sign will be hung at Borough Hall but will later be transferred to a signpost on Paramus Road, near the Paramus Golf Course.
Hanging on the same post will be a sign honoring Suriano's most significant mat accomplishment prior to college, winning four New Jersey state titles as a wrestler at Bergen Catholic High School, where he compiled a perfect 159-0 record.
Although Suriano was the first wrestler to win a national title in the long history of the sport at the State University of New Jersey, it was only a matter of minutes when he was joined by teammate Anthony Ashnault who was crowned champ at 149 pounds at the 2019 NCAA Division I championships in Pittsburgh in March.
