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 eighth year at Xavier University of
Louisiana and his seventh as the men's and women's cross country coach.
Moses earned that statewide honor in 2006, 2007 and 2008.
Moses also was chosen Gulf Coast Athletic Conference men's Coach of the Year in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010,
GCAC women's Coach of the Year in 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2010 and Louisiana women's
Coach of the Year in 2006, 2008 and 2009.
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 — 15 All-GCAC runners and a combined winning record
(20-7) against two NCAA Division I conferences: the Southwestern Athletic and the Mid-Eastern Athletic.
He coached the last two GCAC men's individual champions, Matt Pieri in 2010 and Ray Walston in 2009.
Both are scheduled to return for the 2011 season. And the XU men are 49-0 against GCAC opponents
during the past four seasons.
Xavier's men produced four All-GCAC runners every year
from 2006-09 and a program-record five in 2010.
Moses' women's teams have displayed similar excellence, winning GCAC team championships in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010,
each time by margins of 17 or more points.
A combined 18 of 20 male and female seniors have
received degrees from Xavier or are still enrolled during Moses' tenure.
Xavier was one of 12 schools — and one of two from the
South — to qualify its men's and women's teams for the NAIA National Championships in 2008 and 2009.
Moses also is Xavier's strength and conditioning coach for
all seven of the school's intercollegiate teams. He is Xavier's NAIA Champions of Character coordinator,
and he was the chairman of the GCAC cross country coaches during the 2010-11 academic year.
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 15-year-old son, Joseph Moses III.
