The uniquely UMW tradition of Devil-Goat Day began in 1926 and has gone through several iterations through the years. It remains an iconic campus custom that brings equal parts competition and camaraderie to UMW students heading into finals week. Photo by Parker Michels-Boyce.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One afternoon each year a unique tradition brings a little good-natured sparring and a lot of school spirit to the University of Mary Washington.<\/p>\n

Devil-Goat Day \u2013 which turned 99 last week \u2013 pits students who graduate in odd years (Devils, who wear red) against those set to finish in even years (Goats, who wear green) in a friendly competition that provides some much needed fun before final exams. The heart of campus \u2013 Ball Circle and this year also \u201cThe Beach\u201d at Mason and Randolph halls \u2013 fills up with giant inflatables, fan-favorite lawn games, fair foods, free T-shirts and more. And seniors and sophomores race against juniors and first-years to capture points for participation and wins.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like a school field day but for big kids. It\u2019s just that feeling of friendly competition,\u201d said Caroline Rous of Newport News, who showed up for the Goats with fellow-first year student Abbey Napolitano of Radford. The two, who had just conquered the Kapow Obstacle Maze, met as high-schoolers at summer camp and developed a shared love for Mary Washington before becoming roommates in Willard Hall.<\/p>\n

Senior Jordy Santana, a Devil, spent part of the day watching the action play out from his Adirondack-chair perch. A political science major and member of the men\u2019s soccer team, Santana came straight from his How to Change the World<\/em> class in hopes of snagging an extra-large Devil T-shirt. \u201cThere\u2019s people out here dancing and having fun,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s great to have a little made-up rivalry.\u201d<\/p>\n

UMW President Troy Paino and mascot Sammy D. Eagle made appearances at the event, which was hosted by Class Council and drew more than 1,400 participants. But it may have been the little stuffed Sammys dressed in their own Devil-Goat T-shirts that made the day.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe surprise giveaway of stuffed Sammys went over especially well, as did the addition of volleyball and dodgeball this year,\u201d said Dean of Students and Associate Vice President for Student Affairs Melissa Jones. \u201cEveryone was so excited to show their school spirit and rep their Devil or Goat status. We can\u2019t wait for Devil-Goat Day\u2019s 100th anniversary next year!\u201d<\/p>\n

Sophomore Lydia Fredericks, an elementary education major from Nokesville, took the afternoon challenge \u2013 including its iconic tug-of-war battle \u2013 to heart. \u201cDevils won last year,\u201d she said, \u201cso obviously we had to come back and win again.\u201d<\/p>\n

First-year student Tabitha Melendez, who hails from Virginia Beach, took a more congenial approach, slurping down a raspberry, cherry and mango sno-cone before trying her luck on a mechanical bull-type ride called Harley the Hog. \u201cThis event,\u201d she said, \u201cis a great way to come out and get to know everyone in your class.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anna Koutsouftikis \u2013 an Arlington native double majoring in studio art, along with women\u2019s, gender and sexuality studies \u2013 agreed, calling the event part competition, part camaraderie. She and fellow sophomore and studio art major Nina Cherry from Arlington\u00a0 engaged in a giant lawn game of Scrabble and kept their eyes on the prize.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith tug of war, you\u2019re all in it together,\u201d Cherry said. \u201cThe only thing that matters is if you\u2019re a Devil or a Goat.\u201d<\/p>\n

And sometimes even that can\u2019t tell the whole story. When a broken rope foiled this year\u2019s epic tug-of-war battle, Jones stepped in to fire up the iPhone footage and review an instant replay of the match.<\/p>\n

Regardless, the Goats claimed the day! Until next year …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
