ALMA MATER
In the Mississippi Valley,
In the Crescent Bend
Stands our loved and noble Xavier,
Far her praises send.
Refrain:
Wave her colors bear them onward
Gold and white so true
Hail to thee, all hail, dear Xavier
Hail, all hail, X.U.!
Xavier, ever be our guide
And lead us on the way,
Through life's journey, onward, upward
To the eternal day. (Refrain)

Who is the only person to be voted Coach of the Year consecutive times on the
All-Louisiana collegiate men's cross country team?
None other than Joseph Moses Jr., who's in his sixth year at Xavier University of
Louisiana and his fifth as the men's and women's cross country coach.
Moses earned that statewide honor in 2006, 2007 and 2008, when he
coached Xavier to a sweep of the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference team
championships all three seasons. Moses also was chosen GCAC men's Coach of the Year in
2006, 2007 and 2008, GCAC women's Coach of the Year in 2006 and 2007 and Louisiana women's Coach of the Year in 2006 and 2008.
Highlights of Moses' tenure as coach of the Gold Rush also include
Xavier's first ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American — Joe Drexler-Dreis in the 2008-09
academic year — 10 All-GCAC runners, an automatic berth in the 2008 NAIA National Championships and a combined winning record
(12-6) 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 a 13-year-old son, Joseph Moses III.
