Along Came the Spiders

People often ask, “Why the Spiders?”

Along Came The Spiders, written by Tina Hallock, the first lady of the University of Richmond, is the tale of how the University of Richmond Colts became the Spiders. UR is the only Spider mascot in collegiate sports. After reading many accounts of how the Spider mascot came to be, Tina was inspired to write a children’s book detailing the history.

The book is illustrated by Kaitlin Jones Stasiunas, the University of Richmond’s health promotion coordinator and a talented artist. All proceeds from this book will go toward the University of Richmond scholarship fund.
