     Who is the only person to be voted Coach of the Year in consecutive years on the All-Louisiana collegiate men's cross country team?
     None other than Joseph Moses Jr., who's in his fifth year at Xavier University of Louisiana and his fourth as the men's and women's cross country coach.
     Moses earned that statewide honor in 2006 and 2007, when he coached Xavier to a sweep of the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference team championships both seasons. Moses also was chosen GCAC men's and women's Coach of the Year both years, and he was the Louisiana women's Coach of the Year in 2006.
     Highlights of Moses' tenure as coach of the Gold Rush also include nine All-GCAC runners and a combined winning record (10-6) against two NCAA Division I conferences: the Southwestern Athletic and the Mid-Eastern Athletic.
     Moses also is Xavier's strength and conditioning coach for all six of the school's intercollegiate teams.
     Prior to Xavier, Moses was the men's track and cross country coach at Independence Community College in Independence, Kan., and coached an All-America javelin thrower. He also was the men's track and cross country coach for two seasons at Charleston Southern University in Charleston, S.C. There he guided 13 athletes to All-Big South Conference honors.
     Moses competed on LSU's track and field team from 1988-91 as a sprinter (100- and 200-meter dashes, 4 x 100 relay) and was a member of the Tigers' 1989 NCAA indoor and outdoor championship squads. He received his bachelor of fine arts degree from LSU in 1994.
     Moses has USA Track and Field Level 1 coaching certification. He was born April 8, 1968, in Baton Rouge, La. Moses married the former Kendra O'Bannon of Chico, Calif., on May 26, 2007, and he has an 12-year-old son, Joseph Moses III.
