Colorado College Mourns Loss of Men’s Tennis Player Jack Madison

Colorado College mourns the loss of student-athlete Jack Madison, a member of the men's tennis team who passed away in his sleep while at home on Jan. 2.

"We are devastated by the tragic passing of Jack Madison," Colorado College Vice President and Director of Athletics Lesley Irvine said. "Jack was a treasured member of our men's tennis program and his loss will be profoundly felt throughout the athletics department and campus community."

Madison, from Bexley, Ohio, was recruited to Colorado College as a four-year letterwinner and team captain as a senior at Columbus Academy. He earned a pair of first-team all-state selections and three first-team all-league honors. In addition, he was a state finalist as a sophomore and a senior.

Madison did not play a match for CC as a freshman during the 2021-22 campaign due to injury, but competed for the Tigers during the 2022 fall season. He paired with August Knox to win a match in the 'B' doubles bracket at the Metro State Invitational, and played two singles matches at that tournament.

"The tennis program is deeply saddened by the news of Jack Madison's death," head coach Anthony Weber said. "Jack was one of the most friendly and respectful student-athletes we have had in our program. We will miss his selflessness and positive influence. Our thoughts go out to his friends and family as they cope with this tragic news."

Funeral services for Jack will be held at Tifereth Israel Temple in Columbus, Ohio, on Thursday, Jan. 5, at 1 p.m. (ET). For a live stream of the service, click here.
