Remembering John Illig

Middlebury Squash Coach John Illig died suddenly on Sunday Aug. 3 in a tragic accident of injuries sustained by a fall in his home.


Illig came to the College’s squash program in the fall of 2007. He had a win-loss record of 210-121 during his seven seasons as coach and was named NESCAC Coach of the Year in 2009. 


“John was an exceptional person, coach, and colleauge,” wrote President Ronald D. Liebowitz in a letter to the Middlebury Community on Aug. 4. 


There will be a service to honor him on Sunday, Sept. 14 at the Kirk Alumni Center at 3 pm.
