Official status only begins to introduce one of the newest members of the New Jersey Chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. When  it comes to official, it’s hard to top Pete Frampton.

Where to begin.

He has been a NJWOA official 40 years, an NCAA certified official 35 years, and Cadet Supervisor of NJWOA Shore Officials 21 years.

Frampton has officiated more than 2,100 college, high school, middle school and junior meets and tournaments.

During those years he has also been Chair/Director of the state-wide Garden State Games tournament, and has been on the New Jersey Wrestling Officials Executive Committee 31 years. As a Shore Chapter Executive Officer the past 30 years he has served as president, vice-president and/or treasurer. He also organized and directed a state-wide symposium for state high school wrestling coaches. Away from the sport he has been on the Board of Trustees for The Children’s Institute, the Board of Trustees for the Church of Christ, and a member of Employment Horizons on a Development Committee for training the mentally handicapped.

Other organizations he has been involved in include being a board member for the NJSIAA Corporate Committee, the NJSIAA Girls State Tournament, and on the Board of Trustees for CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates for children).
