Jack TerBorg, Class of 2009

Jack discovered tennis when his family moved to a house across the street from Washington Park in Denver. After three perfect seasons (1945-47) at No. 1 singles at South High School, Jack received a scholarship to the University of Southern California where he played his freshman and sophomore years.

He transferred from USC to Denver University where he completed his undergraduate work and later law school. The DU team captured the Skyline Conference championship for two consecutive years with Jack playing No. 2 singles and fellow Colorado Tennis Hall of Fame member Irwin Hoffman at No. 3.

A prolific champion, Jack won 6 major Colorado singles titles – two Denver City Opens (1958, 1962), two Colorado State Opens (1961, 1962) and two Intermountain Sectional Championships (1954, 1961). He also amassed 9 doubles championships, including 8 Denver City Open doubles titles in 12 years (1950, 1952, 1955-8, 1960-61) and the 1954 Colorado State Open doubles title.
