Aug. 24, 2005
UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND, Va. - When the University of Richmond's Class of 2009 arrived on campus Wednesday for Freshmen Move-In Day they had some much appreciated help lugging all of their belongings into their dorms.
Members of the Spider football, field hockey and women's soccer team, already on campus for preseason practice, helped the freshmen and their parents move the college-life necessities into the dorms.
From 10:30 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. members of the three teams were stationed at various dorms, helping to make the hassles of moving easier on the freshmen and their extremely grateful parents.
The athletes, dressed in their uniforms, made the Class of 2009's first official day on campus that much more enjoyable and - by making the moving process faster - gave the students extra time to actually set up their new home.
