Madi Kingdon Rishel, a standout athlete from Arizona, will be inducted into the Ring of Honor before her team faces Iowa State in a volleyball match on Friday, October 2nd at 6 p.m. MST in Tucson, Arizona. The ceremony is set to begin at 5:55 p.m. Madi, whose married name is Madi Kingdon Rishel, has had an illustrious career in volleyball, both in college and professionally.

After her time at Arizona, where she was a two-time All-Pac-12 and AVCA All-Region honoree, she embarked on a professional career that saw her play for various teams, including LOVB Los Angeles, LOVB Houston, and Athletes Unlimited. Kingdon Rishel's accomplishments in volleyball are truly remarkable. She is the only player in Arizona's volleyball history to be ranked in the top four in kills in a season and, along with Kim Glass, is the only Wildcat to have over 600 kills in a single season.

She is also the second-ranked Wildcat in career matches played, sets, kills, and kills per set. During her time with the U.S. Women's National Team, she helped secure two Pan American Cup gold medals and a FIVB Volleyball Nations League gold medal. Her induction into the Ring of Honor is a testament to her incredible achievements and serves as an inspiration to current and future Wildcats.
